I appreciate the kind words, but am alas unclear on where precisely
BLAST+ is going wrong here.  That said, I do see that future releases
will incorporate an overhaul of some of the relevant portions of
libseqdb, which with any luck will help in the long term, but which I'd
rather not try to backport at this stage of the release cycle.

The good news is that in response to previous issues along these lines
(e.g., https://bugs.debian.org/970344), kleborate already supports
retrying in single-threaded mode under some circumstances; kaptive just
needs to indicate that it should do so, which it currently does only for
much older versions.  I'll extend the relevant version range shortly,
and am reassigning this bug accordingly.
