Starting nautilus crashes with Segmentation Fault

After last updates to my Ubuntu 16.04 x64 nautilus crashes with the following message:

do you get the issue without python-nautilus installed?

I'll try out and get back with the results...

I uninstalled python-nautilus package and rebooted and then I did not get SIGSEGV for some time, but now I again started getting this crash:

misel@misel-amphinicy[~]:

[Expired for nautilus (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

[Ricardo Gemignani (ricardo-gemignani)]

Not sure if it is the same issue. Also a segfault though. gdb and valgrind logs attached.

don't reopen expired bugs if you are not the original submiter, report a new bug instead
