There are critical faults there:

1)  without proper file locking, sqlite will be prone to corruption 
(hopefully as only one process, trackerd, is writing to it then we might 
get away with that)

2) No Inotify but hopefully supports GAMIN/FAM - this will have to be 
manually compiled though because debs and rpms will use inotify

3) not clear to what extent mmap support is required - could explain 
some faults

I will investigate over the weekend if its a tracker problem and if it 
can be cured easily at our end.
