Hello,

somehow I managed to accidentally insert a character that makes lyx to crash 
everytime when I move the cursor over this formula or on compiling tex.

be...@bathl lyx>lyx crash.lyx
QClipboard: Cannot transfer data, no data available
QClipboard::setData: Cannot set X11 selection owner for PRIMARY

../../src/mathed/InsetMathString.cpp(177): Uncodable character ''
Qt has caught an exception thrown from an event handler. Throwing
exceptions from an event handler is not supported in Qt. You must
reimplement QApplication::notify() and catch all exceptions there.

Of course this character is not supposed to be there, but it really should 
not crash, but only show an undecodable character. It even took me some time 
to figure out where the problem is, as it didn't show any problem and only 
crashed when I wanted to see dvi output. Took me some time to figure out 
where the problem is...

This is with lyx-1.6.4 from Ubuntu karmic. Any improvements about this 
already in 1.6.5?


Thanks,
Bernd
