I love lnav and use it constantly, but it crashes a lot. I do wish there was something like lnav that was a little simpler to use, and written in a more resilient way that crashed less. I can cut lnav some slack for the crashes because identifying and parsing arbitrary log formats seems like a messy problem. Still it shouldn't crash 1/3rd of the time I use it.

Sorry for the crashes :( I've been trying to improve it's internals more than adding features as of late. If you haven't already, please file bugs on github and/or submit crash logs to the mailing list. (I've taken a break from working on it lately. So, if you've done that and I haven't gotten back, I apologize.)
No worries. It's a great tool and I'd be very happy to make reports and share crash logs.
