Are you able to make a test case that reproduces it reliably without any specifics about what data you are using (e.g. can you generate a directory full of blank [or /dev/urandom if the compressed size is a factor] files that causes this)? Is it a large number of files or a large total size of files? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
