For curiosity, since you mention this is a Linode, how much system
resources are you assigning your instance?  Depending on the memory
limits on your system, you might be hitting some problems too with
startup/use and lack of available memory and Linux killing off
processes to try and work around things.

In practice, I've found for myself when building Evergreen test
systems to start off with around 3 GB of RAM or better.
