As suggested on the http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash, I've used 'strace' to generate the log in attach.

Procedure I followed:

mpo@lamancha:~$ cd /tmp
mpo@lamancha:/tmp$ mv very-wide.png big.png
mpo@lamancha:/tmp$ pidof nautilus
9076
mpo@lamancha:/tmp$ nautilus . ; strace -Ff -tt -p 9076 2>&1 |tee /tmp/strace-nautilus.log

During the 'wait period' the console showed these lines at the bottom:

> [pid 15593] 16:35:27.422381 _exit(0) = ?
> Process 15593 detached

(hoping these help you locate the relevant part in the trace-log)

This for something more then a minute (yeah, it seems like I exaggerated a bit earlier there)
as soon as the flooding on the console started again I CTRL-C out of it, yielding the trace file in attach.

Hope this helps.
