tracker crashed with SIGSEGV in strstr()

Binary package hint: tracker

I wasn't using trackr,, it was just indexing my files. There is about 11GB new files in my home folder copied from a backup about 2 hours ago.

I also experience this bug after copying about 25 GB of new files from an NTFS partition.

I think that some of my files have weird files names (after some wrong UTF8 <-> ISO 8859-2 encoding). So maybe the filename parsing algorithm is what does the crashing.
It always crashes like this after some minutes after I start my computer and log in.

This is only a guess, but maybe a good starting point for the bughunter!
