This is because sgml2latex doesn't put "\batchmode" at the latex file, so
when there is a latex error, latex will wait indefinitely for the user input.

On my machine, when I export to latex, and run latex, I get the following error
"! Package babel Error: You haven't specified a language option."
because the latex file contain "\usepackage{babel}", but no language is
selected.
A solution to this problem is to use "sgml2latex -o dvi" for converting from
linuxdoc to dvi (instead of using sgml2latex -o tex for linuxdoc->tex and
latex for tex->dvi). You just need to add the line
\converter sgml dvi "sgml2latex -o dvi $$FName" ""
to the lyxrc file.
