Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: tracker

For what I can see the tracker try to index RAW images files with the following 
command line:
dcraw -w -c /tmp/magicv2wc64

Now I can't understand why you care about white balance when you are trying to 
extract information about the image.
The only useful informatio you can find in a RAW image are metadata. And you 
don't need to decode the whole image
(very time and memory consuming).

You probably need just:
dcraw -i - v
from the dcraw man page:
    -i Identify files but don't decode them.  Exit status is 0 if dcraw can 
decode the last file, 1 if it can't.  -i -v shows metadata.

If you instead want the image for the thumbnail, instead of decoding the image 
you can use the thumbnail that is inside
the image (much much faster) with:
dcraw -e 

I have many raw images and I can't use my computer as soon as tracker
starts indexing them.
