SharePoint 2013 preview search crawl stuck in "Starting" status

Environment:

SharePoint 2013 Preview, stand-alone single server farm

Issue:

After configuring the farm, I tried to start the search for one of my content sources, the status is stuck in "Starting" state. From Event viewer, I see the following error:

"The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.CustomDictionaryDeploymentJobDefinition"

After doing some search online, I found the following thread.

Resolution:

Installed kb 2567680 for WS2008R2SP1. https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2567680

Rebooted the server.

Before resuming the crawl, ensure all the components for search are up and running (From Search Administration page, under Search Application Topology, ensure all the components have green checkmarks).

Then resume the crawl for the content source again.
