There have been some changes in the threading model that could have an
influence.
To see if the threading is buggy you could try to remove all the detach
flags (maybe it's best to do that in the patcher text file) and try again.

You will have hard times to debug the VASP source if you're not familiar
with it

I don't think it's related to that - it looks like a genuine VASP bug.
