Bug Description

On a Lubuntu Oneiric amd64 system with pcmanfm 0.9.9-0ubuntu1 (libfm0/libfm-gtk0 0.1.15+git-3625952cea-0ubuntu1), pcmanfm crashed. I am unsure how to reproduce this bug, but this is what I did with pcmanfm leading up to the crash:

(1) I navigated to a folder on a network drive mounted with smbmount and opened a .pdf file with the default application (evince).

(2) Several minutes later I opened a separate window, navigated to two separate network drives, and recursively deleted a folder from each one. The recursive delete operations happened at the same time.

(3) I went to check if these operations had finished, but all I saw of pcmanfm was the original window, with nothing in it. I realized pcmanfm had crashed and that Apport was generating a report. The folders were gone when I subsequently checked, so apparently the recursive delete operations had completed.

I don't actually know if any of the above is causally related to this crash--it could be coincidental.

It seems likely, by cursory examination of StacktraceTop entries, that this is a duplicate of bug 861363. Perhaps the automatic retrace will provide enough information to know for sure.
