Bug Description

I've downloaded the game "World of Battles: Morningstar"... i got the problem with their downloaded installtaion exe.

My system monitor shows that there is no process with such a huge memory usage but the memory usage rise more and more till a freeze of my machine (since i got only 2GB RAM, maybe the complete .exe [2.1GB] is loaded to get the symbol).

Hopefully someone can fix this... till then i will remove the gnome-exe-thumbnailer since this is just bad...
