This is an important point, and I asked myself the same question as well. I gues the most plausible explanation is what James wrote in the gcc bug report: "In this particular case, there is only a very, very small window of time in which the error can occur." It might also be influenced considerably by compiler version and/or settings. Which linux distro do you use? Both the bug reporter and I am on debian. > But I have used LyX with > threaded export enabled, on Linux, for a very long time, with large > documents with lots of children, > and I've never seen anything like this crash.

It uses xelatex and biber, apart from that I don't know, but I did not really look at the contents. As I wrote in trac: Do we have a tool to anonymize documents currently? If not I'll write an lfun, because we definitely need a test case which can be tested by others, and I am not going to anonymize the document by hand. > Obviously, we need some substantial discussion before making any > decision about what to do.
