I can think of two things you may want to investigate:
1. Is it always the same file (or filename) that causes the problem? 
Should be easy to test by, say, removing the first folder that would 
normally be processed
2. You're running out of some resource, probably a resource of which 
there are 4095 and 70 are already tied up to other purposes. After 4000 
files, go into a long sleep(). Start up Activity Monitor, select the 
Finder and use the Inspect command to check whether it has 4000 files 
open or something. The same for Python.
