Ok, Norbert. I have done something similar in CVS. I have also changed the
code to use the recently released preview.sty 0.73. If you are still using
preview.sty 0.72b, then you should upgrade. No upgrade, no previews ;-)

You should split your thesis up into smaller files, 1 per Chapter ;-)

Ok. I bet that this isn't LyX. I bet that gs is eating everything when it's
creating these images. You should probably increase you swap partition in
size (or split your thesis...)

Of course, this contradicts my belief above. I can't see why many image files
would hurt LyX. We don't load them unless the formula is visible. That should
be only one or two.
Perhaps run
lyx -dbg graphics
That might be informative.
