Comment(by nextgens):

 I can reproduce the bug too (win7 x64 with KIS2012)

 - disabling mmap fixes it
 - 'pausing' KIS fixes it

 processor/graphic controller is irrelevant, I've reproduced it with a
 minimal installation in a VM.

 I didn't manage to get a mem-dump where KIS appears on the stack-trace,
 but then again, it doesn't prove anything...

 10:01 < armadev> next step i guess is we need to decide if we can just
 disable
                  mmap preemptively for windows users, simply because a few
 of
                  them want to run a buggy program
