Looks like NMEA to me.

Get root (or the red pill), then install the gdb package.
'pidof maemo-mapper' in a terminal will show you the process IDs. I see
two; are those threads or processes? IIRC 2.4 kernel with linuxthreads
had a PID per thread, while 2.6 with NPTL has all threads share the same
PID. I seem to remember in one discussion here a mention that Maemo
does not have NPTL. I guess these are threads then.
Anyway, gdb /usr/bin/maemo-mapper 1234 will attach itself to the running
process (replace 1234 with the real PID), and then 'bt' will show the
stack trace. At least that's how you do it on a normal system. I don't
really know if Maemo has any specifics.
