Nautilus persistently segfauls when default icon size set over 100%

Edit > Preferences > Default Zoom Level to anything greater than 100% causes Nautilus 1:2.21.6-0ubuntu2 to persistently segfault.

I use a default icon size of 150% normally. After upgrading to the current Hardy packages, nautilus 1:2.21.6-0ubuntu2 persistently crashed. After clearing my old gnome configuration, and re-applying each of my normal settings, I noticed the above issue.

Setting the icon size back to 100% via gconf-editor avoids the crashes. Setting the icon size back to say 200% will cause the crashes again.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a ".crash" file. Please follow these instuctions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.

If you are using Ubuntu with the Gnome desktop environment - launch nautilus and navigate to your /var/crash directory and double click on the crash report you wish to submit.
If you are using Kubuntu or Xubuntu you can file the crash using "/usr/share/apport/apport-qt --crash-file=/var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash" in a terminal - where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report.

I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

This was fixed today with Gnome bug #511406, and released with Nautilus 2.21.90.
