Maybe some shell scripts for "midish" (on Linux, probably also for BSD's not sure for other OS's) for generating midi events, maybe some random note generator in a loop of some sort.  Try the speed of generated notes first to see if timing is the problem.  If it takes thousands of notes, perhaps the segment runs out of room and can't grow, or memory allocation problem, or memory leak...  Or the exception handling for such thread/process didn't handle it properly to print out appropriate error(s).
