I would also think that this problem is *not* related to a change in the 
Linux distribution but *only* to the complexity and size of the input 
files. The issue Federico links to is exactly the problem.

Fixing this issue should be comparably low-hanging fruit, especially 
with some new code providing better control over external background 
jobs. So maybe tackling *this* would give you earlier results ;-)
