I seem to have found a really strange bug.. there are several SVG files that come with Mathematica 6.0 in the directory,

/usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/6.0/SystemFiles/Fonts/SVG

Try setting one of these SVG files as the icon for Mathematica and your settings program immediately crashes. Worse, if you even open up this directory with Nautilus, it crashes.

Worst, if you copy one of these SVG files to another mundane directory, such as your home directory, Nautilus crashes when you navigate to that harmless directory!! It is as if these SVG files are kryptonite for Hardy Heron..

Does anyone know what this could be? Another file to delete? Confirmation of this bug?

(My system handles other svg files, often icons for programs, just fine.. just the Mathematica folder is radioactive.)
