I had already radically shortened the LYX file. The preamble now too. I am enclosing both of these with this mail.
And I don't work with Makeindex because I can use texindy to enforce a DUDEN order in the subject index. If you can tell me how I can do this with Makeindex, I might be able to switch to Makeindex.

Do you by any chance have instant preview turned on in Tools >

file name suggests to me that LyX might have been compiling something
for instant preview. As far as the undead process, if LyX spawns a latex
/ pdflatex / whatever process to compile something and then you kill
LyX, the child process does not get killed automatically (at least in my
experience). You have to nuke it manually. I would expect the
lyxpreviewN17596.tex file to be stashed in the LyX temporary directory
for the parent document.

Paul,
Huh! It was turned on, but I've no recollection of ever doing this. And, as
I wrote, it's never before been an issue. So I turned it off.

Could be. I opened LyX, looked in preferences (but not Display), exited,
then found Display and turned off instant preview. There were to *.tex files
using the CPUs after I exited the second time. Killed both processes.

If yesterday's files were in /tmp find should have found them. It didn't.
Anyway, however the instant preview became active it's now off. Must be
pandemic related, eh? :-)
Stay well,
Rich
