Julia 1.4.0 has a GC rooting bug and I had a program with a similar symptom. I suppose this symptom is probably too generic to speculate the relationship. But since it is fixed in 1.4.1 (https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/35387) and updating Julia is easy, I think trying 1.4.1 is a good first step.
