Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

Feisty.

I start an USB external Disk. Nautilus comes up, displays the root of the disk for a split second and crashes.

The cause of this crash was a symlink, after deleting the link nautilus displays the disk fine:

finalbeta@finalbeta-laptop:~$ ls -Als /media/disk/

Thank you for your bug. Could you try if that's still happening with the GNOME 2.18.0 update and attach a new crash file if that's the case?

I've followed your duplicate link to upstream and posted more information there.
(When it happens now, apport doesn't come up, and I don't know how to provide the information you wish).
However:
I've posted this upstream:

I'm running Nautilus 2.18.0.1, this does not
happen with 2.14.3.

But it is easy to reproduce. Just make a symbolic link pointing to itself.
ln -s bla bla
Nautilus will crash when displaying the folder. I've had others confirming
this.
