Thanks for the report, it is a problem I've never seen before.

The failure is happening while creating a gmapsupp file.
Could you tell me the size of the gmapsupp.img the last time it
worked? Is it anywhere near 2G in size?

The mkgmap code will not, I think, produce a gmapsupp larger than 2G, 
and, although this could be fixed I'm not sure that GPS devices
would be able to deal with it anyway - or not all of them, I don't 
believe mine can even take an SD card larger than 2G.

If you are not actually using the gmapsupp.img then removing the
option will fix the crash.
