gftp-gtk crashed with SIGSEGV in g_closure_invoke() while downloading a directory and its content, without any human interaction

[Josep Sànchez]

Binary package hint: gftp

Apparently it works perfectly, all other operations seems to be ok, but when downloading a directory with its data to the local computer it crashes after about five minutes. First the transfer gets stalled, and after the application crashes.

Happens for me on Ubuntu 10.4 with gftp 2.0.19-2ubuntu1
