Unfortunately, large scale problems can be very difficult to track  
down.  Certain components of KinoSearch are designed with "dials" on  
them so that scaling may be simulated with small data sets, hopefully  
cutting down on the number of actual bugs.  If I'm going to be able  
to help, though, I need a repeatable test case I can debug.

Maybe you ran out of disk space?

Up until recent devel releases, KS has had very significant index- 
time space requirements: sometimes several times final index size.   
This was due to the fact that while the final index was compressed,  
the temporary files were not.  Things should be a lot better now, but  
if you wish to stay on the stable branch, you might explore whether  
or not a larger disk would help.
