I have been off the lyx lists for months and if this has been discussed,
please refer me to previous discussions. (I suspect an old version of
some critical library.)
Problem: lyx 1.1.5fix1 crashes when there is little free (real) memory on
two alpha systems. (I reverted to 1.1.4, applied the three patches and got
the same behavior.) This is an upgrade from 1.1.0.
System: Alpha LX 164 128 MB.
OS: RH 6.2
If I unload sufficient other software, lyx loads and runs with no
difficulty and with full functionality. If there is little free memory
phyical memory, the system issues an "illegal instruction," dumps core and
dies. This occurs whether lyx is stripped or not, installed or run from
the src/ directory.
Since lyx has been my primary document preparation software for a few
years -- and because it is very good for what I do, I want to stick with
it.
Thank you.
