QGIS » QGIS Application

While in QGIS 2.2.0 it was possible to export a WCS layer to GeoTIFF, this no longer works in 2.4.0.
The progress bar pops up for some seconds (too fast, I tried with a large layer) and no file is generated.

The error message is from my Linux box, it also fails on Windows.
