Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

In the packaged file browser for Ubuntu 9.10,
I find that after some file transfers,
the folder will no longer display its contents
until I reboot the computer.
No errors show but the cursor shows
that the computer is still searching.
I've left the computer run for several hours,
but the problem does not rectify.
