I put the du data to show the list so that they'd recognize if there's
an anomally. I thoughtit would be enough to just mention the RAM usage
from top, unless you are also looking for virtual memory usage.
Are you surprised by the results? Do you get less than 6 MB? What do you run?

I think trackerd leaks a whee bit during indexation. I hit 33MB (i have a _lot_ of files)  and trackerd stayed there. Restarting tracker, I now have it running at 4.1MB for an hour or so...
