Now I found time to install Snow Leopard on my Mac.
I can confirm the behaviour reported here:
Lyx (1.6.3) starts up and as long as I just watch my document it keeps
running without any errors.
When I type something and wait for the autosave to come into action, a
pop up window appears with an error message that LyX crashed.
However if I simply click on ignore, I can work with my LyX document,
as LyX itself still is running. So it might only be some subprocess
which is crashed.
I can save changes via the save button. Although after pressing the
button the pop up telling my that LyX crashed appears again.
When I insert a table, the mentioned popup window appears, too. So it
seems that as soon as you start something which calls up a new menubar
this process crashes, too.
All these crashes seem to have to with the fork() without exit() thing
reported on trac, see the crashlog-excerpts below.
So is it useful if I try to compile Lyx on my own on 10.6? Or would
this end up in the same crashing behaviour?
There are some changes/workarounds to do in the source code first,
right?
