Bug Description

First, I tried go to Console 1 (tty1) and tried to use (Alt+Fn+PrntScr+f) to kill Out of memory applications.
It it displayed that OOM-Killer was killed chrome. But chrome did't make system hang anyway (because I use google-chrome 2 minutes with not more than 2 tabs).
Second, I tired to use (Alt+Fn+PrntScr+f) again, more time until OOM-killer was killed tracker-miner-fs and system was not hang.
/proc/sys/vm/oom_kill_allocating_task = 0
OOM-Killer not auto kill OOM Applications. So I was manual kill it.

Vivid test machine started performing horribly, this week, after an incremental update -- 80-90% CPU load -- HDD constantly churning -- HDD LED lit-up solid, RAM/SWAP maxed out, et cetera.

Chromium browser would "Aw, Snap!" immediately upon opening. Firefox was usable, but extremely 'laggy'.

Changing the "tracker" settings via dconf-editor had no affect whatsoever.

Purging “tracker” 1.2.2-2ubuntu2 et. al. restored my Vivid test machine to normal operation.

I know this isn't what you need (I've purged “tracker” now), but here's my rig stats, if that helps:
