nautilus constantly crashing and using 100% resources

[Nate Wiebe]

i recently upgraded nautilus through the updates on hardy. Now nautilus will use 100% cpu as soon as it is logged in. the ram usage will quickly rise to 100% and the computer locks up. then nautilus will die and come back and do the same thing over and over again.
