r.out.gdal --help

 type file type
      options: Byte,Int16,UInt16,UInt32,Int32,Float32,Float64,CInt16,
               CInt32,CFloat32,CFloat64

depending on if raster contains CELL, FCELL, or DCELL data, you might 
use Int32, Float32, or Float64 e.g.


> what means _Signal 11_?

It's a segmentation fault. Bug in the program.

shot in the dark: maybe just capitalization?, try
 format=GTiff type=Byte
?

You can do without the world file, it is stored internally, view with
gdalinfo. Try without, maybe that is causing the error.
