[Psi-devel] Bug-Report: Psi 0.10 stats every file in my home

[Georg Sauthoff]

Hi,

psi 0.10 stat()s every file at the top level of my home. This is a
problem because:

1) it is 'stupid'
2) I have a lot of files
3) I have symlinks to inactive nfs shares, thus in the worst case psi
hangs at startup

This is because of the language search code in main.cpp
PsiMain::PsiMain() - psi searches at the top level of my home for
language packs - WTF?!?

I report it here, because I was too afraid to open a new ticket in the
bug tracker and I reported it yesterday at the
psi-irc-channel-emulation, but noone cared.

The following patch fixes psi for me:
