baloo_file_extr coredump

My logs contain few baloo_file_extr related segfaults (attachment) with error messages indicating reached limit of max fs watches.
I do not remember changing it so it is probably a default value:

$ cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches 
8192

Log messages like: 
"Failed to create watch for "/home/przemek/Projects/JS/Logger/node_modules/uglify-to-browserify/test" No space left on device"
were a bit misleading - "no space left on device" was not the case.
