Doesn't exist ! (there is one, but in a different dir, and not the same
file).

strace on open() shows :

open("/home/moz/src/lyx/lyx-devel/lib/layouts/article.layout",
O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 7
open("/home/moz/src/lyx/lyx-devel/lib/layouts/stdclass.inc",
O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 8
open("/home/moz/src/lyx/lyx-devel/lib/layouts/stdlists.inc",
O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 9
open("/home/moz/src/lyx/lyx-devel/lib/layouts/stdsections.inc",
O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 9
open("/home/moz/src/lyx/lyx-devel/lib/layouts/stdstarsections.inc",
O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 9
open("/home/moz/src/lyx/lyx-devel/lib/layouts/stdtitle.inc",
O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 9
open("/home/moz/src/lyx/lyx-devel/lib/layouts/stdstruct.inc",
O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 9
open("/home/moz/src/lyx/lyx-devel/lib/layouts/lyxmacros.inc",
O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 9
open("/home/moz/src/lyx/lyx-devel/lib/layouts/stdlayouts.inc",
O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 9
open("/home/moz/src/lyx/lyx-devel/lib/layouts/obsolete.inc",
O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 9

i.e. nothing interesting.

when I press ctrl-n. I am FLUMMOXED as to how this could happen.
