 James,
 Thanks for the quick reply.  I suspect you are correct that this is an
 issue
 with my system only since, as far as I can see, nobody else has mentioned
 it
 with 1.6.*.  I suppose I was just wondering if there was any suggestions on
 how
 to fix it.  I tried deleting Lyx and reinstalling, but that didn't seem to
 help.
  Is it possible that I'm not completely getting rid of Lyx and that this is
 why
 the problem remains?


 I am wondering whether it may be related to the problem with fork() on
10.6? If some task normally forked, started to be done in queue, the LyX may
slow down. The interesting thing is why it sometimes triggers a exception.
Just loose thoughts.

previewed as typeset).


I've read through the mailing list to see if I could find a solution  
to this problem but nothing seemed to work.  Any help would be  
greatly appreciated.


FWIW, I am running LyX 1.6.4.1 on 10.6 and haven't seen any of these  
problems (only the pseudo-crash that has been mentioned previously).   
So this is likely not a universal problem, but perhaps a problem  
related to your system in particular?
