Hi Uwe

Thanks to your points!
Yes, I'm now using \underline,  instead, and problem solved!  :-)

*However*, Yes, I usually do number 1 and 2 like you said. I just used them
as an example of progression towards the bug.

So, the *problem* arises when I'm in math mode, and I type as usual:
 \underbar space, \alpha space, and I get my equation.  All seems fine.

However, when I PDF it, LyX *crashes*.

See LyX attachment like you asked for.
I'm using XP, Lyx 1.6.5

Best Regards,  Erez
