After further inspection I found out it was throwing a "Xapian::FeatureUnavailableError". Recompiled xapian with the chert backend and the crash went away.

I didn't understand the question.
Comment 4 Vishesh Handa 2014-05-12 11:20:03 UTC 
I'm closing this bug as DOWNSTREAM. Xapian should be compiled with the chert backend, it is a requirement. Ideally, we should be handling it better, but this is still a downstream bug.
