My first thought is that a further improvement to doc2html.pl is required:
it should be possible to get it to limit the output it sends back to htdig.
I'm tied up with other work at present, so I can't do this myself for while.
I have had a less severe problem with the utility pptHtml from the same
source:
some files cause the pptHtml process to use hundreds of megabytes of memory.
My "fix" was to add
limit vmemory 300m
to the Bourne shell script that invokes htdig.
The process then complains it is out of memory and dies gracefully.
