Subject: Possible bug in lyx-1.1.5
Hello
I'm using lyx to edit my thesis. It is a quite large document that uses
several packages and includes lots of small inlined-eps images. The
operating system is FreeBSD 3.4 with XFree86 3.3.5. I also installed
gcc/b++ 2.95.2 because LyX does not compile with the stock gcc 2.7.2.3.
LyX was configured with
CC=gcc295 CXX=g++295 ./configure
Running under GDB I generated the following log:
GNU gdb 4.18

I found that the problem is not exclusive to my thesis. The same bug
raised with other large document (the LyX reference manual).
