Accelerating forward/backward with the left and right mouse buttons
works. But with space, it's similar to the original described case. When
we are already moving forward, space causes to increase "Velocity" at an
exponential rate, until the value doesn't fit into the window any more,
even when I maximize it.

When we are already moving backward (e.g. by mouse), space causes a
similar "Velocity" increase, but after some seconds, a segfault occurs.
I created a stack trace:

Looks like an infinite recursion.

Hope this helps.
