Thanks for raising this issue.

dnsReaper was never designed to handle such a high number of domains, but we do test it with subdomains from project discovery and it handled it ok.

It would be better to validate your subdomains exist first, using a DNS enumeration tool, and then passing the list into dnsReaper. It's common for your DNS provider to rate limit you after a few hundred requests for instance, which causes strange behaviour and results.

I will look into this though. I expect we are running out of memory but I will try and reproduce locally.
