Does the whole operating system crash, or is it just htdig that dies? If it's the whole system, I'd suspect a kernel bug or a hardware problem, either with RAM or memory management. If it's just htdig, then you probably need to work out a way of limiting how much it tries to index all at once. E.g. you can index a few subsections of your site separately, and then merge them together afterward. -- Gilles R.
