I think I'm getting heap corruption...
I load up my thesis into 1.2cvs just to try it out
then use navigate menu to jump to a section
I get some messages when I click on the "Navigate" menu button:
In Xpup [xpopup.c 335] too many menu items. Max=80
About 52 of them, actually...
When I release the mouse button, I get
lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught
Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX. Please read the bug-reporting
instructions in Help->Introduction and send us a bug report, if
necessary. Thanks !
Bye.

This looked to me like the heap was being corrupted, because it crashed
in free...
Now, I tried chopping my thesis in half to try to find a small document
which still produces the error. However, I could not re-produce the
error with either half of my thesis as input! Confused...
I have been trying to run LyX under mpatrol (a memory debugging library)
to see if it will shed some light on the problem, but it is very
thorough and very slow... and uses LOTS of memory. I currentlly have a
2.5Gb swap file...
Perhaps someone else may know something more about this without using a
debugging library?
Unfortunately I cannot send my thesis as example input - archive is 80Mb.
Ben.
