"Edgy Knot 3
Architecture: i386
Version: 2.16.0-0ubuntu2

I had something like 10 different File Browser windows open and after closing a few, nautilus crashed. There was heavy cpu activity when this happened (from other running processes).

g_get_home_dir() doesn't always return a non-NULL value. We don't cope with this yet.

Comment 5 Christian Kirbach 2007-07-01 14:45:48 UTC

Isn't that a glib bug then? the doc does not say so.

Closing as OBSOLETE (2.20-only crash). Please reopen if someone can reproduce it with Nautilus >= 2.22, thanks.
