Hi,
same problem here that tackerd used up all memory:
--- snip top output ---
Swap:  1951736k total,   705280k used,  1246456k free,    40496k cached

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
 8361 abre      39  19 2258m 2.0g 1544 S   15 82.7 661:42.22 trackerd
--- snap top output ---

In addition it seems to have decided to fill my home directory with its cache.
So I've delete its cache now and killed trackerd but I'll see what happens on 
the next
login/reboot.

In addition I have to say that I'd prefer that tools like that would:
a) notify me what they are doing when run the first time (as there might be 
privacy reasons not to use the default settings) so that I can decide what 
should be indexed
b) run in the background without impacting normal use. meaning that they don't 
use all cpu/memory/diskspace but back off (and preferably show a warning why)
.
