[Tracker] 0.6.3 memory bug or something else?

[David Epstein <davideps umich edu>]

Hi,


Perhaps this is just the memory issue discussed earlier. Let's just
check to be sure. I installed tracker (0.6.3) a few days ago (ubuntu 7.1
Gutsy Gibbon) and it seemed to be working fine in terms of resource use
(few CPU cycles & max memory under 6megs). Then today it suddenly
started swinging between 40% and 95% of CPU cycles and jumped up to
18.5megs of RAM. When I asked for status it replied with a question mark
as pasted below.

Thank you for developing this software. I really think it will help me
organize.
