Ever since upgrading to Neon developer edition (5.8.95), plasmashell crashes whenever opening the application launcher and searching. Just browsing the application launcher works fine.

When I reproduce the problem under GDB, I get this error and this stack trace:

Thread 13 "GlobalQueue[02]" received signal SIGBUS, Bus error.

I have a similar issue in krunner, which I haven't reprod under GDB yet, but I believe it has the same cause.

After running `balooctl disable`, the crash does not happen anymore, neither in Kickoff nor in KRunner.

I'm currently running the Neon debian package version 5.29.0+p16.04+git20170104.0753-0
