This may be the kind of problem that can only be solved on a case by case
basis, and unfortunately cannot be isolated without a -v redig;(  There
are many PDF and MSWord documents, Excel sheets, etc., in our site that
we can browse without a problem; however, htdig would spit out error
messages during the dig;(

For example there is an excel file in our site, about 40K (well under
max_doc_size), which would cause rundig to generated an error message,
reading something like: malloc could not allocate memory..., but it would
not dump core or stop digging.  I ended up running htdig with a -v to find
the culprit file name, and excluding it from the dig;)

Joe
