nautilus crashed during normal use

[Barry Drake]

I'd been using Nautilus during a period of 3/4 hours. On this occasion, I had one instance of Nautilus running as normal, and opened another using gksudo as I wanted to copy a file to a directory as root. As I tried to copy the file, the crash occurred. No error messages appeared. I re-opened Nautilus after the crash and it worked as normal. I don't know of any way to repeat this one.
