Bug Description
Updated to jaunty a few days ago, noticed that tracker / odt2txt got stuck (high CPU load) while odt2txt is processing a OpenOffice.org Calc file that contains the german letter "ß" (this character looks like the greek "beta"). Get an error message that tracker cannot create index.
When removing this letter from the file, everything is ok.
Can also reproduce this by applying "odt2txt --raw" to the file directly, output stops just after the character.
Is this a locale issue? Other german characters ("ü = u umlaut" etc.) are ok.
Tracker does not seem to handle this odt2txt problem elegantly.
Am attaching a file that can reproduce this problem.

I too updated to Jaunty a few days ago. odt2txt uses 94% of CPU and tracker-launcher 6% whilst getting stuck on an ods file. The load did not alter much during this session and my poor little laptop fan was whirring away in an attempt to prevent a meltdown.
This file is a converted xls containing a picture font (I think the font was called Almanac) that font is not currently installed on my system. I removed the offending characters, restarted and the CPU load was back down to normal levels.
