That's nice for Dolphin (well KMetaFileInfo really, it can use the "fastest" hint flag to setup shallow analysis), but what happens if Strigi tries to index a file that's not a file i.e. /dev/zero?

An infinite loop isn't a great idea for something in kdelibs IMHO.  Does Strigi have code to determine if it's reading from a regular file or a device, network socket, etc?  I think that would be an easy way to skip files like that in case someone ends up trying to get meta info in the /dev directory.  The shallow analysis presumably would take care of the large movies and such.
