I committed fixes to both trunk and the 1.6.5svn branch fixing this crash. At the same time I made a few cosmetic changes to the amsart class. > Also included is the AMS' template file, jams-l_template.tex, for the > same journal.

This is because this time, tex2lyx exists with a proper error saying that it does not know the jams-l class. Providing one would be trivial (if needed), since it is a very thin wrapper around amsart. Just start tex2lyx from command line with tex2lyx -c amsart jams-l_template.tex and you'll get the same good old crash you enjoyed with journal.tex :) A quick (untested) workaround for the crash would be to open the file amsart.layout with an editor and move the lines DefaultModule theorems-ams DefaultModule eqs-within-sections DefaultModule figs-within-sections to the end of the file.
