I have done the changes and recompiled lyx. I have increased my
test-document up to 27Mb and I can not crash lyx again. But I noticed
that the response time for cut&paste increases exponentially. Cuting 4Mb
and pasting 6 times lasts 2 hours (K6-2 333Mhz with 128 MB, lyx eats
100% cpu and 148 MB memory all the time). Then I saved the document and
tried to reload it. After formatting the document for 3 hours I stopped
the tests. (CPU- and Memory-Consumption as above).
As I am not familiar with C++ I couldn't find an obvious place with
comparisons between unsigned short and int or unsigned int which I think
is the problem.
