Bug description:
  There's an infinite recursion in MIME resolution bug which affects
  processes using gio to resolve certain MIME types.  In my case,
  tracker-miner-fs-3 has been crashing in a loop for weeks due to this
  issue.

  I reported the issue to the GLib maintainers here:
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/3601

  The fix is given here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/merge_requests/3714
  The backport to 2.78 is here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/merge_requests/3718

  I'm requesting the fix be backported into ubuntu.  Thank you for your
  consideration!
