Can't say for certain, but it looks like something on your system is sucking down all available RAM/swap space and starving out the processes being run by your rundig script. Aside from htmerge, it looks like about every program kicked off by the script (some of which have nothing to do with the ht://Dig package) is resulting in a segfault; htmerge itself is failing somewhat more gracefully when the system sort command reports a memory allocation failure (/bin/sort: Memory exhausted).
Since the failures continue even after htdig crashes, it would seem that the underlying problem is external to your dig script. However I wouldn't take that as a certainty without further investigation.
In order to read the core file you need an appropriate debugger (e.g. gdb if you build ht://Dig with GCC). Even then what you get probably won't be particularly meaningful if you don't have some development experience. However if you have a debugger available, someone might be able to walk you through generating a backtrace that you could submit to the list.

This has happened again. This time I was running:

There is a file "core" in /home/search/bin and /home/tmp/htdig but I cannot read them.
There is file "report" in /home/search/tmp and this is:
