Attached is a backtrace, more or less generated by the instructions at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash.

As gdb debugging nautilus ignored my control + c commands, I scraped the information out of ddd. (Fortunately, gdb running in ddd did respond to control + c.)

I asked Google for a better way, but I had no joy with anything I found, even from Stack Overflow. I know that there is a way to interrupt or control gdb while it is running besides control + c, but I am clueless as to how to do so. Can anyone tell me how, besides RTFM? It would be nice to add this information to the instructions at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash. As a (very inactive) member of the Ubuntu BugSquad, I volunteer myself to do the editing.
