tracker-miner-fs crashes on login

[Neil Danziger]

Immediately after login tracker-miner-fs crashes.
Apport reports "Sorry, the program "tracker-miner-fs" closed unexpectedly. Your computer does not have enough free memory to automatically analyze the problem and send a report to the developers."

.xsession-errors has many thousands of repeated lines like:

(tracker-miner-fs:2330): Tracker-CRITICAL **: Could not execute sparql: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.Tracker1.SparqlError.Internal: column nie:url is not unique (strerror of errno (not necessarily related): No such file or directory)

then finally:

***MEMORY-ERROR***: tracker-miner-fs[2330]: GSlice: failed to allocate 504 bytes (alignment: 512): Cannot allocate memory

running "tracker-control -s" from the command line does not immediately crash, but subsequent "tracker-control -S" gives:

with "time remaining" constantly increasing -

03 May 2013, 16:36:08: 90% File System - Processing… 09m 38s remaining

As you can see, at this point been running for almost 90 minutes (but without crashing).
