Hi,

I have hit been hitting a bug for a while, but I still don't have a recipe to
reliably reproduce it. But if I am working on a paper, this bug or a similar bug
will happen maybe once an hour on average. It can be triggered just by typing
but more often by deleting, cutting, pasting, etc. a chunk of text that causes
the whole file to shift a bit.

I am using Debian unstable and lyx svn updated after beta 3. In the worst case,
I get this message in the shell

Error returned from iconv
E2BIG  There is not sufficient room at *outbuf.
Qt Concurrent has caught an exception thrown from a worker thread.
This is not supported, exceptions thrown in worker threads must be
caught before control returns to Qt Concurrent.
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::length_error'
  what():  basic_string::resize
Aborted (core dumped)

I have an 88M coredump if anyone is interested in getting it somehow.

Most of the time when the basic_string::resize error is triggered, I get a
pop-up notice that the documents will be emergency saved. But sometimes (like
this time), there is no emergency save and I lose a little bit of work. One time
the emergency save corrupted the file and I had to replace it with a backup.

Sorry to not have any more useful information. Overall, I think the beta is
looking good.

Thanks,
Ben
