Bug Description

Nautilus crashed while I was opening a large directory of photos on my camera (plugged in via USB). It got as far as showing the list of photos, I scrolled to the bottom, started selecting the photos I wanted and then it crashed. I found this in /var/log/messages

Oct 9 17:00:52 whisper kernel: [12568.781796] nautilus[17953]: segfault at 700000008 ip 00007f16f10c68be sp 00007fff8d1e7790 error 4 in libgconf-2.so.4.1.5[7f16f10ac000+2d000]

So it's possible that the bug is actually in libgconf, but I'm not sure how to debug further.

Just done some clicking about, and noticed bugs #865115 and #865912 but I don't have nautilus-open-terminal installed.

My mistake - I did have nautilus-open-terminal installed, even though aptitude search showed it as 'p' (purged). Will mark as duplicate.
