Well it would be nice if at least it was removed when the tests are over so 
on next reboot it's not loaded.

Actually it *also* allocates 32 + 64 MB files in /tmp :^)
Not that I'm short on disk now, but I usually am, so it's really an issue :p

I found my crash problem, it was a broken libtracker.so which the debugger 
tried to load when debugging apps :^)
Running the cvs version now, and it rules :)

(if you ever see self-dying apps that don't give you the debugger, try doing 
an objdump --all-headers on your libs, and see if it prints any BFD: error 
while parsing them :)
