I sometimes have this problem due to what is likely a bug in LyX.
Try the following: segment your document into several documents and
see which one(s) fail. Continue removing until you find the offending
part(s). Then if you also look at the LaTeX source code you can
sometimes find the problem. Ususally for me it is an "extra" space
(LyX typically eliminates those, and if it doesn't for some reason,
things break).

Dear All,
I have been working on a document for a long time.
I regularly pdf it.
I didn't do anything to it, and now suddenly screams
This happens on the first line of the document, with line as
"standard"
I'm using lyx 1.5.5 , xp.
See below the error...
It complies 1 run, and then 2nd run, and then gets stuck...
Any suggestions would be greatful

I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think
you left one out. Proceed, with fingers crossed.

I've deleted a group-closing symbol because it seems to be
spurious, as in `$x}$'. But perhaps the } is legitimate and
you forgot something else, as in `\hbox{$x}'. In such cases
the way to recover is to insert both the forgotten and the
deleted material, e.g., by typing `I$}'.

and so on...
