In the GNOME System Monitor, tracker-store is currently reported as

We recently found a memory leak. Can you retry your experiments using
the most recent commit in master?

Looks like the development branch fixes the problems I was having.
tracker-store's memory usage is insignificant (~14MB RSS, growing by
100k every 5 minutes or so), CPU usage is lower (previously
tracker-store was pegging a CPU at 100%), and indexing speed is up.

I'll let it run until completion to see if anything else pops up, but
it's looking good so far.

Well, tracker-store appears to have been fixed, but now tracker-extract
is acting up. Within 20 minutes of starting indexing, it was up to 16GB
virtual (10GB RSS) memory usage) and was swapping out all my apps, I had
to kill it to get my desktop responsive again.

Any new ideas?

The only thing like this which we have seen recently is with corrupt
OpenOffice documents being passed through odt2txt. On my machine it just
malloc'd until it couldn't.

This was not our extractor's fault but the odt2txt version. Usually with
tracker-extract, the issue can be dealt with on a file by file basis.
What file was this happening for for you?
