Bug Description

When I navigate to /proc in nemo, the whole system freezes and nothing works after that. I would have to press power off button to power off the system. This only happens in nemo and when I navigate to /proc in terminal its fine.

1. The version and edition of Linux Mint you are using (if you are not sure, open a terminal and run "mintwelcome").

Linux mint 17.2 (64bit, Cinnamon), Nemo- 2.6.7

2. What you did for the problem to happen, and how to reproduce it.

Just use nemo and navigate to /proc

3. What happened.

The system freezes and no controls will work. I would have to power off the system and then boot it.

4. What you expected to happen instead.

Display files, folders in /proc

5. If the problem happened once, sometimes, or always.

Always.
