            Bug ID: 85196
           Summary: Huge spike in CPU and memory usage by tracker
                    extractor due to rogue file
           Product: poppler
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
          Assignee: poppler-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: martyn at lanedo.com

Original bug is reported here for GNOME:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=738704

Here for SUSE:
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=898323

This crashes for a PDF which looks like it has no text and is just an image,
see the GNOME bug for the link to it.

I can confirm this bug, but it's not a Tracker bug as far as I can see. We
call:

  text = poppler_page_get_text (page);

and we run out of memory and it does take an age to come back from that API
call.
