In my case tracker-store acts like a fork bomb! After fresh boot I
shortly have a lot (about 50-100) defunct tracker-store and
tracker-extract processes each consuming about 5 MB of memory. I have to
manually kill them or I'm unable to launch any app form Gnome Shell. yum
remove is not an option because of dependencies. I confirm this behavior
on 64 bit box with Fedora 17, on 32 bit Fedora 17 all is fine.

I'm glad, I'm not alone with this problem.
