[Tracker] Case sensitivity in filenames producing missing hits



I have a PDF file called

  ~/Desktop/HR508.pdf

and I've installed Tracker 0.5.4 on a gNewSense GNU/Linux system (an Ubuntu Dapper derivative) using the repo pointed to by the Tracker download page.

I let Tracker index my home directory and I used the Deskbar search to look for

  hr508

Tracker found nothing. I renamed the PDF file to "hr508.pdf" (note the case change on "hr") and searched again. Tracker found the file!

I renamed the file back to "HR508.pdf", searched again, and Tracker did not find the file.

Trackerd's log file said:

So it seems that case changes somehow throw off Tracker's ability to find files.

Any help with this would be appreciated (besides renaming all of my files to avoid uppercase letters). Thanks.
