I'm running Debian/Sid, so wwwoffle-htdig.log is in /var/log.sid, hm ? Did you check for known bugs ?
Sometimes hangs can be tracked with strace, like# ps fax|grep tty6 561 tty6 S 0:02 -bash 740 tty6 S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh search/htdig/scripts/wwwoffle-htdig-full 741 tty6 R 1457:55 \_ htdig -i -c search/htdig/conf/htdig-full.conf
strace -o /tmp/htdig.log your-htdig-command
After interrupt the process at some point, I'd start at the logfile's end, looking for pathes / filesnames.
Actually i've no clue what priority PR is, and what's the difference to nice.top - 18:09:13 up 2 days, 6:10, 9 users, load average: 2.00, 2.00, 2.22 Tasks: 83 total, 8 running, 75 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 99.9% user, 0.1% system, 0.0% nice, 0.0% idle Mem: 515940k total, 505904k used, 10036k free, 80872k buffers Swap: 875500k total, 181708k used, 693792k free, 84192k cached

Anyway, i'm surprised to see htdig and dpkg at the same level.
But why, probably it's just ok.
good luck
