After the icotool program is used to convert an icon in Nautilus it will randomly begin using 100% of the CPU and not stop until forcibly killed via process monitor.

I had this happen to me today, as well, for the first time. Noticed while having an NTFS volume mounted idle in a Nautilus window in the background. Was also forced to kill via System Monitor.

This is probably fixed with the new version, which lists the prevention of an infinite loop in its changelog.
