Of course sub processes may crash of your os is running out of resources ( num of preocess, num of file handles, memory. . . . ) Not knowing your code and your OS it might also be, that you try to acccess a shared system resource, which can only be use once, Hard to say with that little info. you could also try to add logging your subprocessesor to log their stdout / stderr. > I only have around 300Mb.
