Garbage Applet consumes all memory, freezes system

[vaughn]

When I right click on the garbage applet and choose Empty Trash, both memory and CPU usage quickly skyrocket and within 15 seconds, my PC is frozen.

This problem is affecting a computer running 64-bit Ubuntu Karmic Koala. It is not replicable on my Jaunty laptop. This is affecting version 0.3.9 from the launchpad testing ppa. I began having this problem after installing awn and other system updates yesterday.

Could you describe what's in your trash folder?

For example:

* Top level: 3 files
** folder 1: 2 files
*** folder 1.1: 5 files
** folder 2: 1 file

[vaughn (vaughngrisham)]

Sure. It's music. I have one folder that is the artist's name, a folder inside that is the album name inside of which are 13 ogg music files.

So...

* Top level: 1 Folder
** Folder One: 13 Files

The odd thing is, if I delete just a file with no folders, it works just fine.

[Mark Lee (malept)]

Yeah, it's a recursion bug. I'll work on it as soon as I get some free time.

[vaughn (vaughngrisham)]

Well thanks for working on it. Karmic is buggy and I'm holding off upgrading my main computer anyway.

Fixed in revision 383.
This revision is already in my PPA, don't know when it will be in the Awn Testing PPA.
