Hi folks, 

I'm using LyX 1.0.1 on a FreeBSD 2.2.7 machine, and I just crashed it
pretty good:

I was sweating for a moment, until I saw .lyx~.

However, what happened whas that under heavy load (swap 98% full) I closed
the lyx window by clicking on the close button, then it asked me if I
wanted to save. I said yes, and that was it:

[...]

Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX. If possible, please read 'Known bugs'

I had to kill it...

I don't think I can redproduce this. I will try, though...
Great program, otherwise! I love it... :-) Is there ny further Information
I can give you?

CU, David
