Bug is close to celebrate his first birthday with a moreinfo tag.

Given the few details it could be a "MMap out of room" symptom
or a broken file or the universe simply hates us.
Either way, this can't be fixed without knowing what caused it or
at least it can't be closed, maybe it is already fixed.
(The mmap thingy is for example)

So i am closing this bug as unreproducible.

Feel free to reopen it if it is reproducible (or in if you know why
 the universe hates us). Thanks for your report so far and
Best regards

David Kalnischkies
