First culprit I'd look at is the mixing of subprocess and threading.
It's entirely possible that something goes messy when you fork from a
thread.

Separately: You're attempting a very messy charset decode there. You
attempt to decode as UTF-8, errors ignored, and if that fails, you log
an error... and continue on with the original bytes. You're risking
shooting yourself in the foot there; I would recommend you have an
explicit fall-back (maybe re-decode as Latin-1??), so the next code is
guaranteed to be working with Unicode. Currently, it might get a
unicode or a str.
