I assume that this is another such bug:

LyX: Done!
assertion "mutex->ptm_lock == __SIMPLELOCK_UNLOCKED" failed: file "/usr/src/lib/libpthread/pthread_mutex.c", line 133, function "pthread_mutex_destroy"
Abort (core dumped) 

This is when lyx-qt was exiting.  I just rebuilt it, from the latest 
CVS pkgsrc I had, from some time yesterday.  (Lyx is hardly a priority 
for me, but I wonder if we're going to have to find some way to be 
bug-compatible with all the penguin-oriented packages out there.)
