I also encountered crashes under rev 2220 when writing when
testing the PICDEM FS USB bootloader under
GUI mode. piklab-prog does not crash but not working with writing.

In the mean time, you could try three things.
1) run with --max-debug option and capature the error messages.
It might work if it is really the DEBUG problem.
2) update to rev 2221 and then built it with debug option. Again
it might work.
./configure --enable-debug=full
3) downgrade to release version

I do not have a proper ICD2 to test this. Another suggestion is
to get a PICkit 2. PICkit 2 works better with the base line PICs
and the 12F629/675/16F630/676 and other PICs which require
Vpp earlier than Vdd. ICD2 does not control Vdd and often have
problems with these PICs. piklab and pk2 support PICkit 2 V1.x
firmware.

Could you update to the latest version, recompile, and test again?

Hi Nicolas,

The latest version works perfectly!

Thanks,
