I could reproduce the problem of the chinese user after installing the
new version to Xfree86 tree. Interestingly I couldn't figure out yet
the reason.

With the following debug code it's running:

I don't actually understand what this line is doing.
(as usual some comments in the code never hurt ;-), but this is a
problem of the whole LyX source:
People write extensions, fixes and always forget that comments in a
large project with many rapidly changing contributors are meant for
'novices', should explain the design and concepts, and should be more
extensive - and in fact are on the long run much more important - than
the actual code):
rc=stream('chkconfig.sed','c','seek + 'size' write')
Nevertheless ' write' fails. So I'm unsure what to do for the release
here.
