Exactly.

To state it once more:
LyX-1.0 does not work correctly on Linux/AXP - that is Linux running on Digital
Alpha CPU systems - if compiled by egcs-1.1.1.
The crash can be triggered by opening the Tutorial !

Actually I never heard of anybody succesfully running LyX-1.0 on any Linux/AXP
system. Some older versions worked fine for me, though.

The easiest workaround is to compile completely without optimization. That is
achieved by doing (inside the lyx build dir)
  CXXFLAGS=" -O0 " path_to_configure/configure ; make

The best workaround is to manually compile the file math_iter.C without
optimization. Only that single file math_iter.o causes the trouble.

LyX-people: Please add it to the BUGS.

egcs-people: Do you have any idea about what might cause the trouble. Anybody
             interested to look into ?

Jochen
