Recursive symbolic links in Trash crash nautilus

[Soner Tari]

Binary package hint: nautilus

I've created recursive symbolic links, i.e. two symbolic links pointing at each other:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 soner soner 10 2011-04-21 20:52 soner.lnk -> soner.lnk2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 soner soner 9 2011-04-21 20:51 soner.lnk2 -> soner.lnk

Then moved them into Trash by deleting them. After that point on whenever I start Trash window, Nautilus crashes consistently. If I delete those two files from the Trash/files folder on the command line, everything becomes alright again.

Following is from kernel logs after Nautilus crashes:
May 1 23:21:47 ubuntu kernel: [26280.184472] nautilus[1830]: segfault at 7fff97d56fd8 ip 00007f87851c013e sp 00007fff97d56fe0 error 6 in libglib-2.0.so.0.2600.1[7f8785162000+e0000]

The issue is *not* specific to the Trash bin only, recursive symlinks in any folder crash nautilus when you access that folder using nautilus. I am a bit surprised because I had created those symlinks on Desktop first without any issues.
