as tracker does not seg fault I'm not sure gdb will help?

I suggest valgrind though bear in mind it will run a lot slower in it.

run it with :
valgrind --tool=memcheck --num-callers=20 --track-fds=yes -v  trackerd

it should at least show where file handles were opened and not closed 
and any other errors.
