Since 3.11.2, localsearch-extractor-3 segfaults on any .abw file that is neither XML nor valid gzip. It restarts, picks the same file, crashes again. Loops every ~2 s while the file exists.
Reproducer:
{ printf '\x1f\x8b\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x03'; head -c 3000 /dev/urandom; } > badgz.abw
localsearch extract badgz.abw
Ubuntu report: https://launchpad.net/bugs/2168518
Workaround: delete or rename the offending file.
Awaiting upstream review before proposed a Debian patch.
