Possible problem: you have a version of the xforms library compiled
for glibc 2.0 and you use it with glibc 2.1. In such a situation, when
xforms wants to print a message to the console telling that it has not
enough colors (because netscape ate them, for example), it just dumps
core.
A sure way to diagnose that is to run lyx under a debugger (gdb) and
see whether the crash occurs in vsfprintf (or some similarly named
function).
