so i paused the indexer and it still hung after 900 displays.

This is a little more interesting, and here is what I did.

Paused indexer
loaded 2 pdfs into /mnt/us/documents as described above

i then load them in the viewer alternately with

lipc-set-prop com.lab126.appmgrd start file://<path><fn>

everything works perfectly until i hit around 900 cycles then things get very slow and then stop updating. lipc then starts with 'unable to open application'.

so it has nothing to with the ssh transfer because i only transferred 2 files and it has nothing to do with the indexer because i can see in the messages log that the indexer is paused.

it must have to do with the fact that i open the pdf viewer 900+ times. Either it needs to be closed in a specific way (which i am not doing) or there is a memory leak (which i dont see).
