Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
I was working with Nautilus coping and pasting images, and creating some icons shortcuts when nautilus crashed: it closed itself and after some seconds it reopened automatically without any user interaction, looping opening hundreds of new sessions on the system tray. I shout down my ACER Aspire PC and after the bootstrap the loop autostart again.., now I can't use my Intrepid ubuntu anymore!!
I went to check some system logs to discover what's happening and I discovered this one:

I could paste thousands of lines exactly like the ones above...now my system is completely unusable because of this bug!! I tried to shutdown my PC a lot of times but every time I start "Intrepid" the Nautilus autostarting loop, make my PC unusable. Should I format and reinstall my root partition?
help me please!

Ubuntu 8.10
kernel 2.6.27-8
CPU: Intel Core 2 duo 2,4 Ghz
RAM: 1024 Mb
Nvidia 9500 GT with 500 Mb ram video
hdd: 250 gb free disk space

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a ".crash" file. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.
As you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart. Once you have done this, repeat the steps necessary to recreate the crash.
You may then get a crash report notification. If so, follow the on-screen instructions to submit the crash report. If you don't get a notification and you are using Ubuntu with the Gnome desktop environment - launch a terminal and submit the crash report using /usr/share/
Also bear in mind that you should only flag a bug as a security vulnerability if you are reporting a specific security problem. You aren't reporting a security problem, so you shouldn't have flagged this bug as a security vulnerability.
I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.
