It is not htdig that is generating these messages. Instead, these are
pages being returned by the site(s) you are trying to index. All
that htdig is doing is trying to parse and index the results returned
by the server. At this point, I don't see anything that indicates
that htdig is doing anything other than what it is intended to do.

The one word per line that you are referring to is just diagnostic
output generated by htdig as it parses out each individual word it
finds in the response from the server being indexed. Again, this is
normal behavior (when verbose output is enabled) and the words
themselves are coming from the server you are trying to index, not
htdig.

The origin of the errors is the site you are trying to index. It
appears that the site is attempting to generate some dynamic output,
failing in the content creation, and responding in a rather
ungraceful manner (i.e. no appropriate status code to let a client
know that the intended page creation failed).
