Hi,

on -current LyX crashes at startup with "Abort trap" and writes
"backwards memcpy" into /var/log/messages.

Exchanging memcpy in src/support/gzstream.cpp helps.  (Tested with
manually applying the patches from ports to downloaded source on 7.5 and
newly sysupgraded snapshot.)  I successfully started LyX, created a
document, compiled, viewed and saved it.

My patch to gzstream.cpp below.

Best regards
Robert
