Please re-open this bug report. I confirm this issue on a Dell XPS 13 9380 with 16GB RAM.

The following command solves everything, but is of course only a workaround and not a solution:

sudo swapoff /swapfile

My wild guess is that fragmentation on the filesystem in combination with a very big swap file (32GB) causes this bug.
