Comment 11 for bug 1364780

Hi Ian,

It may well be a rogue file being indexed.
We've just fixed a bug which was allocating way too much memory here:
  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748608

This started off as a Tracker bug in tracker-extract too. Turned out to be a library we depend on.

The bug also mentions a link which I've added recently to help people investigate these issues, here is the link again:
  https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Tracker/Documentation/Debugging#High_memory_use.3F

Are you able to share the output of:

  $ tracker-extract -v 3 -f /path/to/file

? That might shed some light on this issue.
Alternatively, if you could attach the file in question for testing here, that could help too.

Thanks :)
