Did you compile LyX yourself? If yes, it would be nice if you could compile 
it with debugging symbols (run configure with --enable-debug). Then run 
LyX in gdb, and when it crashes press bt for a backtrace and send that. 
That might give us useful information.

You could try

lyx -dbg mathed,action 2> lyx_bug.txt

instead. If that is still too big then simply send the last 1000 lines.

You can, but it does not help much if the bug is not reproducible and we 
don't have a backtrace and/or debug output. If you manage to get a 
backtrace or debug output please do.

The strange thing is that heavy math editing works rather well for me in 
1.4.3svn. What OS/distribution and what compiler do you use? We have 
reported crashes with gcc 4.1 that might be related to this, see e.g. 
http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2677
