Hi David,

Just another 2 cents..

1) Does your system have a big enough swap file??
2) Is your system's swap usage getting high when your index crashes  
at 34k?

try running a top to monitor this, during your rebuild...

$ top |grep Swap
Swap:  2650684k total,  1224176k used,  1426508k free,   270932k cached
Swap:  2650684k total,  1224176k used,  1426508k free,   270932k cached

if so , increase your swap partition..

It sounds like you might be hitting the limits of your system's ram 
+swap.???
