Thanks. I tracked down the key part:

You may also notice that at a couple points the logs mentioned something
interesting:

> warning: setlocale: LC_TIME: cannot change locale (en_SE.UTF-8): No such file or directory


Which implies that somewhere you have set a locale that isn't valid or
functional. You also have LANG="en_US.UTF-8", but at least one locale
override exists somewhere -- maybe in your bashrc or profile.

Having a broken locale can cause programs to randomly fail if they're
unable to handle such failures. That appears to be the case here.
