Bug Description

Ubuntu-Mate 20.04.1 LTS.

Very easy to reproduce here - even a live session:

1) Navigate to /snap/snapd/
2) Right-Click on "current", select "Properties"
3) CRASH!

Every snap app has a "current" directory which is a symbolic link to a numeric folder within the same directory. I chose "snapd" because everyone should have it. All will crash Caja if you attempt to get Properties.

I am unable to crash on a similar symbolic link and folder in my home directory.

Tried a 20.10 VM - identical crash.

I've been getting nuisance Caja crashes for awhile but I can't reproduce them until this one. I hope it points to a broader problem. I realize, by itself, this isn't much of an issue.
