I do not see the crash, but I can confirm that when the workarea is 
split (horizontally or vertically) and one is editing in the second 
workarea, the display is not updated properly. I have _no_ idea of what 
is going on, but this can definitely lead to crashes in some cases.

If anybody has an idea on why editing is OK in first split but not in 
second one, please tell me! The situation is not the same when the same 
file is open in two windows AFAICS. Very very weird.

I do not think this is relevant. But indeed this should be fixed. I am 
not sure how easy it is, though.

This is why we release buggy LyX versions :)
