Hi Ross, Thank you very much! It was indeed a memory issue. I had 4GB of memory allocated, and after I expanded it to 6GB it finished without the error (although it failed timing constraints, as usual), and during mapping it stably occupied 5GB of memory for about 7 hours.
Thanks again!

I just restarted the (virtual) machine and tried casper_xps again, and the same error occurred at a later stage. I have successfully compiled non-trivial designs on this same machine/setting/versions before, but this one is by far the most intense (should take up roughly 50% of the FPGA resource).
