Hallo, thank you for your comments. Eventually, an update of all the miktex packages and the lyx version (to 2.0.6) did it.

I started the section, then immediately went into a multiline equation envoronment, and got the error of "TeX capacity exceeded". I've learned over the years to look for this whenever I get that error. I want to emphasize that this is not a LyX bug, nor is it IMO a LaTeX bug. It results from GIGO. The file "out" is an xwd output (X window dump) of the error popup. If someone wants to see it but can't view the format, write me back. I suspect that something like this is what happened, and as you can see it is hard to see it in LyX, but it just results from not separating the subsection environment from the multiline math environment. -- David L.
