Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

This crash occured when browsing and SFTP-share through GVFS in Nautilus. It was triggered by a change in directory (going up one level). Apport should have automatically gathered most relevant info.

Here you go, a back-trace :)

I think I've got all relevant debug-symbols included.

The crash is reproducible, but not straight-forwardly so, you have to fiddle with browsing the SFTP-share a bit, going up folders, down folders and copying some files. Doesn't take too long, though, before it happens, and I can make it happen every time I try.

I confirm this bug in updated Ubuntu 8.04.1 x64.

Browsing remote sftp shares results in a delayed but reproducible nautilus crash.

relevant parts of .xsession-errors:

** (nautilus:6430): WARNING **: Hit unhandled case g-io-error-quark:0 in fm_report_error_renaming_file

GVFS-ERROR **: DBus failed with out of memory error
aborting...

I attached GDB to nautilus and after browsing remote SFTP shares nautilus quits.

GDB shows this:

0x00007ff7314e2c76 in poll () from /lib/libc.so.6

When I attempt to run a backtrace GDB exits.

This bug is a serious regression please let me know what I can do to help.
