Probably. The most likely thing to cause something to exit with a status
of "Killed" on Linux is that your system ran out of memory.

In particular, on Python 2, the "range" function returns a real list
that allocates space for all those numbers from 0 to 33749999999. Try
using xrange instead, or if you can, switch to Python 3.
