Hi James, Are the output files growing in size, or stuck? That might help identify a problem.
But also, are you really using samtools 1.3.1 (released December 2015), which is over three years old? If so, it could easily mean a problem with the older version - I would try updating to 1.9 which was released summer 2018.
