Package: xapian-omega

Severity: important

I get the following error when trying to index a PDF file:

Indexing "/xxxxx.pdf" as application/pdf ... pdftotext: error while
loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: failed to map segment from shared
object: Cannot allocate memory
Filter for "application/pdf" not installed - ignoring extension "pdf"

As far as I can tell, the problem is that runfilter.cc sets an rlimit
of 7/8 of the free memory.  And that freemem.cc calculates that using
sysconf(_SC_AVPHYS_PAGES), which doesn't include the memory that the
kernel is using for temporary caching, even though that really is
available.

Debian bug 404528 decribes a similar bug in another package, and
suggests using _SC_PHYS_PAGES instead of _SC_AVPHYS_PAGES.

Here is the output of 'free' on my system:
