Stefano seems to be using a debug build. In this build mode an assertion
causes a crash each time. With a release build assertions are "softer"
and, most of the time, the only visible effect is a message on the
console or the cursor is moving weirdly.
Stefano, whenever you need to work seriously with LyX don't compile in
full debug mode.

Well, I am using a debug build now because I wanted to help tracking down the
bug. It is frequent enough to have become a serious annoyance.
And this is very nice of you to do that :-)
But I started
experiencing the problem (and started this thread) with the standard build.
So what Abdel's message seems to imply is that either:
1. the assert problem is not related to the crashes I experienced originally
Unless you can reproduce the last crash with a release build with the
same symptoms I am tempted to say that the two crashes are unrelated indeed.
or
2. I somehow was unwittingly using a debug build before recompiling Lyx with
the debug option
I remember that Debian packages used to have full assertion enabled
sometime ago, I don't know if they changed their policy since then...
