[Bug 458995] [NEW] [karmic] Trackerd goes into infinite loop indexing .xsession-errors

[Jerry Chong]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: tracker

A few seconds after start indexing, Tracker starts consuming 100% cpu
(or 50% for dual core), and checking .local/share/tracker/trackerd.log
shows that trackerd is stuck in an infinite loop:

23 Oct 2009, 19:27:22: Tracker: Received monitor event:2->'IN_MODIFY' for file:'/home/zanglang/.xsession-errors' (cookie:0)
23 Oct 2009, 19:27:22: Tracker: Received monitor event:2->'IN_MODIFY' for file:'/home/zanglang/.xsession-errors' (cookie:0)
23 Oct 2009, 19:27:22: Tracker: Received monitor event:2->'IN_MODIFY' for file:'/home/zanglang/.xsession-errors' (cookie:0)
23 Oct 2009, 19:27:22: Tracker: Received monitor event:2->'IN_MODIFY' for file:'/home/zanglang/.xsession-errors' (cookie:0)
...

Checking tracker-preferences shows that I indeed had ".xsession-errors"
listed under Ignored File Patterns.

The bug appears to be 100% reproducible everytime I start trackerd.

I'm not sure if it's related to previous 100% CPU bugs, but Googling
returns nothing about this .xession-error problem, so I assume it's not
a duplicate.
