How much RAM does your computer have?  158K spectra is a lot of spectra to
load at once, especially using the k-score pluggable scoring option
compared to native Tandem, so there's a chance that the program ran out of
memory if you don't have lots of it on your machine.  Monitor task manager
while the search is running to see if this might be the problem.

Hopefully you've set "spectrum_batch_size" to some non-zero value in your
Comet search.
