Please suggest what might be the problem. Thanks in advance for help.

Nothing can be judged from the output you show, except that it died somewhere inside of the “rd51_EventBuilderVFAT.C” file (when calling the “rd51_EventBuilderVFAT(char const*, char const*, int)” function).

Assuming it’s because of too much memory in the buffer, then the crash you see is “might” be fixed by [io] fix crash due to overflow in buffer length variable by ferdymercury · Pull Request #14627 · root-project/root · GitHub

The limitation itself is not yet addressed (Overcome 1GB size limit for IO buffers · Issue #6734 · root-project/root · GitHub)
