System properties calculates 128TB of contents

[Marley Sexton]

Binary package hint: nautilus

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 10.10
Release: 10.10
Codename: maverick

Linux 2.6.35-22-generic x86_64 GNU/Linux

Expected 'Contents' in the properties menu of 'system' to show a reasonable amount of data in relation to the actual size of the hard drive (In my case 640GB), rather when the contents total reaches around 2GB (Just under 30000 Flies) the total jumps up to 128TB and ceases to rise, despite the file count doing such. Also along side this the 'Free Space' is still a reasonable size (543.1GB, thus we expect The total size of the files to be around 100GB). This Bug can be persistently reproduced by doing such:
   1) Start Nautilus (:~$ gksu nautilus)
   2) Navigating to the root folder
   3) Right clicking 'System' icon next to the 'Root' icon in the left corner
   4) Selecting properties
   5) Viewing the 'Content' which rises to 128TB after a short period.
