I tried all kind of things to make this happen, but
when I cropped the circle to nearly the same size, It finally happened.

thanks, Wallace! you are right! my starting image was almost squared.
Tried now again with a vertical image and NO CRASH.

Maybe some "code expert" (jontait2?) can try to understand why...

playing with different images, the crash happens also with non squared images
also: after the first execution, it seems to keep the settings even changing them manually (especially trying to change rotation values); is there some "persistent" value in the code? (likely after a crash?)
even the "reset all filters" doesn't help in some cases; is there a way to "clean" reset that filter?
sometimes it works....

(all what I'm saying is still concerning only the option "box")

You'll probably need to provide more detail if you expect there to be any feedback on the difficulty you're experiencing.

you're right Saul.
Unfortunately this morning I tried what I think I did the other day, but was unable to get a crash again.
Hence I kindly ask Wallace whether he can reproduce the error today and detail the steps necessary for someone to reproduce it, thanks.

#Saul

by chance I succeeded in having again the crash

open the attached image
start map object
set "box"
set the following orientation values: x=111, y=45
run

I also tried to map the image to Box and came up with this error.

Opened image, added Alpha channel, Ran Map Object>Box, with default settings.

No problem. :bigthup

I don't think I'll ever use Map>Box anyway, but now I won't ever us it if this keeps happening.
