Description
if there are any large files in the directory being searched by API it can crash and leave cron in a stuck state
I have some text files ~300Mb that cause problems.
Cron getting stuck is pretty bad :-(
Possibile solutions
1) check file size before parsing (maybe performance problem)
2) provide settings to exclude some directories
I'll look into this some more but wanted to post the report before I forget about the problem (again)
