I made a self-contained executable from lyxsum.C and tried it on every file in the texmf tree but did not succeed in crashing it. So I added some debugging statements to src/support/lyxsum.C to see what file was triggering the crash and to my suprise it was not a file but a directory... $ src/lyx-qt.exe New counter already exists: section Locale en_US could not be set beamericonbook.pdf beamericonbook.20.pdf beamericonarticle.pdf beamericonarticle.20.pdf Computing crc of "/tmp/lyx_tmpdir1456cHRIK5/lyx_tmpbuf0/beamer-crash.tex" Computing crc of "/c/texmf/tex/latex/beamer/beamer.cls" Computing crc of "/c/texmf/tex/latex/beamer/beamerbasemodes.sty" Computing crc of "/c/texmf/tex/latex/beamer/beamerbasedecode.sty" Computing crc of "/c/texmf/tex/latex/beamer/beamerbaseoptions.sty" Computing crc of "/c/texmf/tex/latex/graphics/keyval.sty" Computing crc of "/c/texmf/tex/latex/pgf/basiclayer/pgfcore.sty" Computing crc of "/c/texmf/tex/latex/graphics/" Abort (core dumped) I tried the same with a mingw build and got that it also tried computing the crc of the same directory, but in this case no crash was occurring. As it seems really strange that the crc of a directory is needed I tought that it is better if I still stick with this mailing list before going to bug the cygwin people ;-) -- Enrico
