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.
