There is a "-l" flag which writes a log of the progress made in a dig and
enables htdig to bail gracefully when it's killed. In the 3.1 code, this
is not the default behavior, in part because it was not clear the
signal-handling code was portable enough.
Suffice to say:
a) There's no good way you can be sure the databases are in a useful
state.
b) You have tons of documents you don't want to come up in a search
anyway.
Given (b), I'd just say you should reindex, being careful to stay away
from nasty CGIs. A dig of 950 URLs should not take very long at all.
