Going by the size of db files you told me you are getting, I would say
that lack of memory is the most likely problem.  You might need to
install proper system accounting (sa, acct, etc) to see what is
happening with the memory.

Why don't you start with a sub-set of the data, perhaps 10%, and modify
rundig to echo the time and a comment about what is about to run?  At
the same time you can keep an eye on what is happening with memory and
swap using top(1) even if you haven't installed proper process
accounting.


It would also help if you told us what OS you are using, what else is
running on that system (for example user desktop), how much data you are
trying to index, and the size of any db files that have been produced so
far.
