I ran gdb src/lyx core as suggested, here is the output.

I think I may have found the problem. It only dumps core when I run as
root, having run su - from a user account. lyx cannot open the display
in this case. If lyx can open the display, ie I run su from a user
account, or as a user, lyx runs fine. So maybe you want to see if the
display is available, otherwise quit with a message like netscape
does.
thefox:~# netscape
Error: Can't open display:
