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:

Thanks,
	C.
