We already have this with the current solution. Right now people are
already saying they get too many crashes and they are disabling indexing
or removing Tracker because we are over protective.
If we are really sucking up all memory and making the machine unusable
we really need to fix it, not put a measure in place expecting it.
not really - ubuntu put an exception so that crashes in tracker-extract
are no longer reported a while back
its designed to crash to protect the system from undesirable resource
usage. Its generally not possible to fix it as the extractors will
always be open to third parties to produce their own thus its prudent to
have a safety net in place
Of course - that's why it is designed this way ;)
But you don't catch these serious memory issues by just crashing with
another error which hides the real problem. Consider memory profiling,
how would you do that?
