I instrumented thumbnailer to print some text when it is created and
called. Then I copied images to the Pictures directory and clicked
around. It turns out that ThumbnailGenerator::requestImage is never
called. The generated thumbnails do not appear in ~/.cache/thumbnails
either (which they should, unless gallery-app is requesting large enough
images).

I wrote a thread torture test for thumbnailer and ran it under helgrind
for 15 minutes or so and it produced no thread errors.

Even more strangely I can't reproduce this any more. Tapping on an image
while others are loading works just fine.

All of this, combined with bug #1375238, makes me suspect that there is
a threading bug/buffer overrun somewhere else in the stack and it just
happens to manifest itself as this bug.
