It sounds like you may have run out of memory in your linux box. When I run qa() in my 16GB machine, it usually uses ~14GB just for this qa() process.
That is for 36 bases. May be, it you are running 75 bases, you just used all the RAM. Is the processor running 100%? Check it issuing 'top' at the command line. If it is, then you are good. 'top' can also tell you is you are swapping wildly. (swapping is when your machine runs out of RAM memory and starts storing data in a temporary location in you hard drive to avoid crashing.)
