The filter-media in 1.5 is a bit more robust. If it hits an Exception 
when dealing with one file, it will attempt to clean itself up a bit and 
carry on with the next one.

In the cases where PDF extraction is failing due to a PDFBox bug, this 
is usually good enough for it to finish the filtering normally 
(excluding the file that caused the problem).

However, I can't guarantee that will be enough in this case. But then 
judging by Mike's message, it's possible that filter-media wasn't even 
run at all. (only index-all is mentioned)
