I just had a thought about this Snow Leopard problem. The reports we
are getting say that, if you don't have autosave turned off, then
there is an apparent "crash" each time autosave triggers, but that
this isn't really a crash: You can dismiss the error and continue
working. That makes it seem likely that there is a crash, but that it
is in the spawned child process. Now just recently, Manervu has
written that, apparently, the problem does not affect background image
processing, e.g., resizing of displayed images and the like. Can
anyone else confirm this?
If that is right, then it can't be the fork() call itself that is the
problem.
It is. Forking is different from spawning child process, it is about
spawning a copy of current running lyx process and that makes a big
difference. Background image processing is done via external processes
(eg: image magic).
