[Digikam-devel] [digikam] [Bug 338176] Face Recognition memory allocation crash application

--- Comment #6 from Christian <gentoo at moin.fi> ---
Some more information... If I delete the libkface/database/recognition.db the
problem disappears. However, it can reappear later. It seems that the
recognition step can corrupt the database, so the crash is caused from that
point onwards. (Or some particular "faces" can get stored in the database that
then cause the crash whenever the processor attempts to process them.)
The crash, once it happens, occurs every time I try to run "recognise the
faces" and also if I change the names on a recognised or "guessed" face, which
causes the face recognition to try to do something with the database. But as it
seems to be something involving memory runaway, the crash takes a while to
happen. It's still possible to use digikam for everything else while the face
recognition process in the background gobbles up all the memory and swap and
then eventually crashes (taking digikam with it).
