Can you check your system logs? Were there any messages on your console?
Did your machine restart ok?
W/o any of that it sounds remotely like a "too many files open" problem.

Testimonial:
We have about 15,000 pages on our primary site, 6,000 on one of our
virtual hosted sites. The site is in two languages - English and
Ukrainian,
with some items in a third, Russian. The locale is set for uk_UA.cp1251.
Our machine is currently two P3-550s, 512MB RAM, 2 20GB HDS; our
os is RH6.2 with most if not all of the updates.
We rebuilt htdig rpms so that it would install to peculiarities of
our filesystem.
Indexing each site takes about twenty to thirty minutes. Admittedly, we
got the firewpower (CPUs) to do that.
