Hi Jon, I was able to find that the daemon segfaults on kontact.desktop file. I discovered which file was causing a segfault by running strigi-daemon under gdb, then when there was a segfault I checked lsof to find which file strigi-daemon had opened. Trying to run strigi-daemon again after moving kontact.desktop out of the search path, it again segfaults on another .desktop file. Adding *.desktop to the exclude filter, strigi-daemon segfaults, this time on "Adobe Acrobat 4.0.xpm". (Do you want this file?) Adding *.xpm to the exclude filter, strigi-daemon segfaults on a .jpg file.
All of these files I can get the metainfo on (right-click, properties, meta info). Is this also a kfile function? I'm beginning to think strigi simply segfaults on the first file it encounters, and is probably a Debian specific problem. A bug has been opened already on the debian bug tracker. If you have any other input let me/us know: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?archive=no&bug=412054 Thanks, C.
