I think it is useful, but I think you'll see the same crashing
behaviour.

The first thing you might try is to adapt the following code:
194--...@forkedcalls.cpp:
pid_t ForkedProcess::fork() {
#if !defined (HAVE_FORK)
return -1;
#else
pid_t pid = ::fork();
if (pid == 0)
IAmAChild = true;
return pid;
#endif
}
If you undefine HAVE_FORK (or just always return -1), you can see
whether (all) crashes disappear. If so, we have at least a workaround.
Everything should still work, but you might be interrupted in your
typing when LyX saves the autosave file using the same thread.
