Somewhat random ideas based on this "sounding" like a problem with this
document since other docs compile w/o a problem:
If you have a backup copy, or two, try them and see if they work.
Try divide and conquer. Save half of the doc as two other docs and see
if they compile. Rinse and repeat if only one fails until you isolate a
region that is a problem. That can then be recreated.
I am NOT a LyX (or LaTeX user so YMMV.

When I click the OK button it kills the LyX process and removes all open
document tabs. This same document compiled just fine several months
ago, but
I need to modify it and hit this issue yesterday. Both yesterday and
today
other docs compile without causing a segfault.
I'm totally stumped. I've no idea how to isolate the reason for this,
especially since there are four new (last month) DIMMs in this host.
Should
I re-write the doc from scratch?
Thoughts appreciated,
Rich
