I'm running reLyX Revision date 1999/05/02 on red hat 6.0 linux on an
intel machine (dual pentium) with "perl, version 5.005_03 built for
i386-linux".  The following simple tex file test.tex causes reLyX to fail:

%--------------------------------------------------------------

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\begin{document}

\newcommand{\beq}{\begin{equation}}

will lyx work on this file?

\end{document}

%--------------------------------------------------------------

I get the same failure with an identical output (diff on outputs
returns nothing) if I use
\def\beq{\begin{equation}}
rather than using \newcommand.  On the other hand, if the \newcommand
statement is deleted reLyX exits successfully and writes a .lyx file.

I'll put the output of 'reLyX -d test.tex' below.  Any help would be
appreciated.  

Thanks --

Ken
