[Hanine HAMZIOUI]

Reproduce the bug:
----------------------------

- Open gnome control center
- go to privacy settings
- modify a setting (e.g. delete all history). Close it.
- open dahsboard
- search for anything

The symptoms:
------------------------

- the temperature of CPU rises from 45 to 70 and the fan follows.
- If you click 'delete history' on gnome center [privacy], you get this in terminal as stacktrace: [21:37:07.321048 CRITICAL] zeitgeist_engine_delete_events: assertion `_tmp0__length1 > 0' failed

Workaround:
-------------------

- Kill zeitgeist-daemon process
or : user@pc:$~ zeitgeist-daemon --replace

I guess this is just the Privacy app being insane and retrieving/deleting all IDs at once.

Is it connected with https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zeitgeist-extensions/+bug/757727 (zeitgeist-daemon memory usage skyrockets after dash search)?

Marking it for later as it is difficult to reproduce

Myz 12.04 amd64 Zeitgeist keeps filling up my main memory except300mb & over half the swap mem til effectively slowing down the system I kill it in system monitor.
It sometimes returns & behaves, but mostly does it again during a session more than once. When I shut down it says 'you are trying to run something w/ Kxx & passes the job to upstart. There is a mention of using services commands + mentions of ictl & init.d & apport in the output!
