My guess is it wasn't ever meant to work with a GNOME 1.4 session.
THis is the only instance of this bug we've seen.

changing subject line to refelect more general nature of this bug.
increasing priority and severity to reflect multiple and varied
reports.

Comment 5 Darin Adler 2002-04-05 15:06:54 UTC

This bug is simple to fix. Instead of asserting that the
directory_vfs_uri is not NULL, it should check if it's NULL,
and call metafile_read_done if it is.

I introduced this recently when I did the security fix.

Unfortunately, my Linux machine has been hacked, so I can't do any
check-ins right now. Someone else with cvs access should make the
fix.

It's just:

    if (metafile->details->directory_vfs_uri == NULL) {
        metafile_read_done (metafile);
        return;
    }

In metafile_read_check_for_directory.
