8, 13, 16. The pdf compiles, but it's missing several eps figures
created from scans. All the eps figures for this file sit in a
single folder.
I'm running LyX 1.5.6 on Mac 10.5.5.
Any help would be appreciated.
What happens if you run epstopdf on the EPS figures outside LyX (in
a shell)?

Thanks for the suggestion, Paul. The problem turned out to be the
previews (thumbnails) contained in the eps figures. When I saved the
figures without the previews, all was copacetic. I'm not sure why the
figures (the originals that contained previews) compiled just fine
back in September. Perhaps I was using an earlier version of LyX then
-- I'm not sure when I updated to 1.5.6 -- and perhaps the versions
differed in whether they choke on eps figure previews.
