Heh, I have submitted 244 bug reports to LyX. Most of these are crash/aborts found by my Jankey monkey testing tool. Unfortunately, they couldn't fix bugs as quickly as I could find them. I bisected the crashes to find the regressing commit, but working on Coverity reports (as they do now) looks like it would be more developer time effective.
I also imagine LyX would be more reliable if you use the last release of the previous version. (i.e. 2.3.8 rather than the latest 2.4.3).
