For completeness, I thought it would be worth revisiting this. I downloaded and
extracted master.zip (660MB download, extracts to about 2GB).

I tested in a guest VM, Neon User edition, BTRFS, 8 GB RAM. I ended up setting
MemoryHigh=50% and MemorySwapMax=0, I think with *very* *large* number of
different words as is definitely the case here, you are going to be hammering
Baloo and it is going to need space. It reached 3.8G memory usage and bounced
around for a while just under that level, dropping down again when the indexing
finished. Rebooting the system did not trigger any reindexing (I didn't set up
any snapshots). I didn't manually unzip files within the bundle (the zip
bombs). I don't know if Baloo ever tried to unpack zipped files, if so these
could have been nasty....

It looks OK.

I had six files where Baloo refused with an "Invalid Encoding". The indexing
completed in around 10 min. The index file was about 2G. The system remained
fully usable during the indexing.

I think we can say "Thankfully, that's fixed" and the call can remain closed
:-)
