hi,

sigkill (as opposed to sigsegv or sigterm) means usually the OOM
killer decided to kill dt due to lack of main memory. can only guess
what may be the cause though. maybe processing too many thumbnails in
parallel? do you have any particular settings in darktablerc? one
super large image? i'd watch dt's mem usage and see whether there is
any evidence that there may be a true memory leak or whether some
individual jobs just take too much memory for this system.

cheers,
 jo
