Running k9copy with strace I've also find the cause of the problem:
opening of an iso image returns EOVERFLOW.
From the manual of open:
"
EOVERFLOW pathname refers to a regular file that is too large to be opened. The
usual scenario here is that an application compiled on a 32-bit platform without -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 tried to open a file whose size exceeds (2<<31)-1 bits; see also O_LARGEFILE above. This is the error specified by POSIX.1-2001; in kernels before 2.6.24, Linux gave the
error EFBIG for this case.
"
From the explanation above it is obvious that only 32-bit version is affected and this problem can also be fixed on the 32-bit version by adding a compiler flag.
I've added the following two lines to CMakeLists.txt of the source tree and rebuilt the deb package:
SET(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64")
SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64")
[I've put it after SET(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake") line in CMakeLists.txt]
I did not test it thoroughly yet but the iso file open problem has disappeared!
These defines can cause problems only if k9copy uses external libraries which were not compiled with the above settings and they share file descriptors.
So I suggest this fix to be included in the official version of k9copy too!
I've encountered the same problem on 10.10 too.
