If there is no processing in the loop unrelated to events, then why
is LyX calling the unblocking fl_check_forms()? Change it to call
the blocking fl_do_forms() instead, like this:

int
main ( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
......
while ( true ) {
fl_do_forms ();
fprintf ( stderr, "LyX: This shouldn't happen....\n" );
}

return 0;
}

If application only uses callbacks:

fl_do_forms
/* should never get here */

If application uses some events:

loop
fl_do_forms
handle_event
end loop

If application does some other processing:

loop
fl_check_forms
if event
handle_event
end if
calculate_next_20_decimals_of_PI
end loop
