Binary package hint: nautilus

I see a number of threads reporting this problem:

All on hardy, all saying the same thing. Here is a bug that was opened, but was reported as Invalid, yet there is no explanation:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/245931

There is even a backtrace available in that bug report. There are known workarounds:

(sudo dbus-launch nautilus)

but this is NOT an acceptable solution. The problem is an obvious bug and needs to be addressed.

Here's the version info:

paul@blackhole:/etc/rc0.d$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04

This is supposed to be "Hardy", why is a bug like this being marked as Invalid. If there truely is a duplicate of this problem being reported, please let us know what that bug is so we can track it. I updated this very morning and the problem still occurs.

I believe the invalid status on this problem is incorrect. The bug I was pointed to as a duplicate shows a problem where sudo nautilus runs the CPU to 100% until manually killed. While sudo and nautilus may be a common thread, the problem here is a segfault, which should NEVER happen, especially one so easy to reproduce. The difference between pushing the CPU to 100% and a segfault should not be ignored. I can almost guarantee, based on my experience, that fixing the CPU 100% bug is extremely unlikely to resolve this issue also. I find it troubling that this issue is truely being ignored.
