In my setup I use genpuid to analyze and tag files before loading them
into the SC library. That has all worked fine for quite some time, but
recently, I started having a weird problem with genpuid. 

I usually move new albums into a special directory and run genpuid on
all files within that directory, then move the files to my music
directory for the MusicMagic server and SC to find them. However, when
I tried running this yesterday, genpuid would go through and
fingerprint every file and then start the analysis. It would get
through some songs (though never actually write the tags, which I think
happens when it finishes everything) but then just stop working. The
command didn't finish (in other words, I didn't get back to the command
prompt), but the mipcore process was no longer showing in my list of
processes, and the cpu usage went back down to nothing (this happens on
a 64-bit arch linux machine). 

Here's the strange thing: I tried running file by file and noticed that
genpuid works for any file that is less than 8MB in size, but for
anything larger it just stops running without completing the analysis.
I've confirmed this with three different albums: Anything less than 8MB
gets scanned, anything more doesn't. There are no error messages or
anything.

These are MP3s downloaded from Amazon, and I've never had a problem
with this before. I also often use flac, which are obviously often much
larger than 8MB, and they always worked fine (though I haven't tried one
recently).

Finally, I copied one directory with 9 files that were less than 8MB
(and appropriately analyzed) and 4 files that were more than 8MB (which
couldn't be analyzed) over to my Music directory. I added the files
through the MusicMagic Server web interface, and it correctly
identified the 9 files as being analyzed and the 4 needing validation.
I clicked on "start validation," but it just never stopped. So it seems
that it is not just a genpuid problem.

Any suggestions?
