@Matteo: I was not criticizing tracker -- that I am trying to wort
around this bug by purging the files and disabling the feature.  And I
made an explicit point of saying to Jamie -- you know, the author --
that my turning off the feature was *not* a criticism of his code.  I
just don't use or want the feature.

@Chris: if that's the case, then why have I had to turn it off on
multiple installs?  Was it on by default in the past, and that's a carry
over?  Moreover, In fact, why do I have:

  $  ps auxwww | grep track

if I have indexing disabled on the general tab?  Do I also have to turn
it off on the files and e-mail tabs, too?  What does it take, short of
an un-installing, to permanently kill this thing?
