file-roller crashed with SIGSEGV in strlen()

[nullack]

Binary package hint: file-roller

Sebastian Bacher asked me to re-try my bug 243807 with apport trapping the segfault, which I have done.

Replication steps are:

I'm on Intrepid Alpha 1. In file roller there is a bug with not extracting specific files. Replication steps

1. I have a zip file that contains the Elementary Icons that I downloaded from gnome look
(http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Elementary+Icons?content=73439)
2. On the user's desktop directory, double click the file to open up file roller
3. Within file roller zip file, move into the elementary directory
4. Only select the Elementary_1.8.1b.tar.gz file
5. Select extract to the default current directory being the user's Desktop
6. Observe file roller close and no extraction take place

Work around is to extract the whole file and tidy it up from there.

I'm getting a lot of SIGSEGV in strlen() in intrepid on various self-compiled things dependent using Qt

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I can also reproduce the problem. Here's a Backtrace while trying to extract a directory from a Debian ISO file.
