nautilus memory leak in thumbnail view

[Rami Al-Rfou']

Binary package hint: nautilus

You can generate this bug by opening a folder that contains a video that is being edited. For example, video that is downloaded using torrents. I left the folder open for five hours and nautlius memory allocation reached 293 MB ! You can try for less periods and you will see that memory allocated to nautilus is increasing

simple just kill nautilus before you begin
$nautilus -q
then follow the guide
that's it
:)

thanks for the logs however they are missing a lot of symbols, could you install the nautilus, libpango, libgtk2, libglib2 and libcairo dbgsym packages and get a new one? Thanks in advance.
