I de-activated indexing for some hours, but trackerd kept on using 50% CPU.
Crash appeared after reactivating indexing.

Hi Jami,

I have subscibed you here, becsue you are also the upstream contact on launchpad.

I have just a little problem with the gnome bugtracker.

There is a report on this SIGSEV(must be checked if it is the same), but I am not able to reopen it on the gnome bugtracker.

Are you allowed to do? And could you update the gnome upstram report with the information of this report(version; which was the original closing cause).

Thank you in advance
