Have you doen some testing with only the most powerful GPU enabled?

Haven't tried that since I often run on battery so use the other one. I can try just for grins and see if it makes any difference.

Just tried with the 9600 GPU and it still crashed when plugging in the second monitor.

Maybe I'm beating a dead horse, but this afternoon, separate from the above test and back on the slower GPU, I recorded with the built-in Mic for an hour + then saved & closed the window (CMD-W). Reopened a new window CMD-N and let it sit for over 2 hours. The Audacity window was up when I looked at it, but when starting a new recording, immediately the window came up to save the files for debug (Audacity 2.1.1). NOTE: The recording proceeded in the window behind the "error window" until I dismissed the "error window" then the Audacity window went away. Again this speaks of time being open on Yosemite, regardless, it seems, of what it is doing, sets up the conditions for a crash when ever anything different is required of Audacity. I don't know if it is display oriented or not, but even on starting a recording there is a momentary screen redraw and with what ever is in an instable mode gives up.

With the recording continuing in the background it seems to me more like it is in a controlled crash rather than a system crash. Hopefully all this will mean something to someone there. (No crash report as it used to get, though maybe that is because it is 2.1.1 rather than 2.1.0.)

Thanks, Cliff.

I made some comments here in the bug about the flickering and open/save crashes:
