Bug Description

Binary package hint: beagle

 The current beagle shipped with Feisty crashes... alot. Recently Beagle just broke the 100 bug mark. Upstream recently did a maintenance release to fix several of the major showstopper bugs. The most noteworthy changes are:

* Fixes to the image filter (extracting JFIF comments and IPTC data,
  among others).

* Fix a potential deadlock on PDF files that cause pdftotext to spam
  output to stderr.

* Fix the SVG filter to handle undeclared namespaces gracefully.
  [bgo #404787]

* Handle JavaScript comments inside HTML files properly.

* Workaround certain archive files that cause SharpZipLib to loop
  infinitely. [bgo #402280]

* Fix bugs caused by a change in behavior after switching to the .NET
  2.0 profile, mostly date-related.

* Fix a problem where KMail folders were not being indexed. [bgo
  #391647 and #401767, bnc #238161]

* Change our method of setting up limits on external extractor
  processes, because running JITted code in a child process sometimes
  causes runtime deadlocks. [bgo #402065]

* Fix a problem in our Sqlite schema where Beagle could loop crawling
  directories that started with zeros.

This release introduces no new features, and fixes several serious bugs. This includes 4 fixes for beagle getting caught in a tight loop and hogging system resources. There are no extra dependencies introduced, and most code changes are 4-5 lines per file.
