Using llama.py silently fails and occasionally causes system instability

[Pyroglyph]

Silent Failure:

I'm attempting to use llama.py to reduce the size of the Airochronos L2 13B model.

Then it just quits without any error message. The same thing occurs without the --wbits 4 flag.

I am able to use opt.py perfectly well, and Task Manager shows that nothing is being maxed out so it can't be a hardware limitation:

System instability:

When I was running the command I mentioned above, trying to capture the image of the Task Manager usage graphs, an Electron app restarted itself and Task Manager displayed some black artifacts and closed. This is not a regular occurence for this machine, and only happened when I ran that command. On another occasion, Firefox froze for a few seconds while llama.py was attempting to run.
Unfortunately, I have been unable to reproduce either of these behaviours. Even so, I feel it's worth mentioning.
