I went into the Help system in the sidebar, clicked on
System->Configuration->Config Files-> if you then click on any of the man pages
available, you get the man page up correctly, but if you then scroll to the end
of the man page, you see a link called 'Name' ??? If you hit this, the Naut app.
dies with the following error message to standard out:

[root@nscp1 desktop]# run-nautilus

i'm running the RPM's taken from the eazel website yesterday so i'm assuming
they are pretty much the latest.....also i'm running on RedHat 6.2....

The assertion indicates a bug inside NautilusFile/Directory code that I am
probably the best one to fix. But I don't know for sure that I can reproduce
this. Ali, let me know how I can help you.

this might have been due to the bug I made pavel fix in gnome-vfs...
gnome-vfs was generating bad-broken uris with some memory trashing...

If you can get the latest gnome-vfs and try to reproduce this ?

Don't know if this is the same bug or a separate one, but none of those links at
the bottom of man pages work for me.

They do not crash Nautilus, and I get no error messages on the console, but all
I get is a blank page.

Example: man:intro.7
click on "DESCRIPTION" link at the bottom
man:///#lbAC/gnome-man2html2 /
in the "goto" line at the top of Nautilus and a blank mozilla window

Darin: there appears to be a problem with symlinks in Nautilus. First of all, 
mozilla doesn't work with them (which you shouldn't concern yourself with), but 
if I click multiple times on a symlink Nautilus crashes.

I believe this is exactly the problem of the original bug report. I have not 
taken a look at nautilus-directory.c to examine why it crashes. 

Hope this helps you track it down.

When I try the steps originally listed here, I get the same results as jfleck.
It is possible that the crashing part of this bug has been fixed, as mathieu
suggests. What remains seems to be that named anchors don't work. If that is the
only remaining issue, then this is a duplicate of bug 42787. But I'm not marking
this as a duplicate yet because Ali also brought up some problem with symlinks,
and I can't tell how that fits in with the rest of this discussion.

OK, it's time to put this poor bug to rest.

The first problem it mentions (the crash), was almost certainly a case of the
crashing bug in gnome-vfs-uri-new that pavel fixed recently. Now the main
(only?) problem that it mentions is a specific case of anchor tags (links within
the same page, maybe my terminology is wrong) not working, which is bug 42787.

It's not clear whether there's a separate issue involving symlinks. If there is,
we need a new bug report for it, because following this long complicated one has
become impossible.

Marking this a duplicate of 42787 and saying goodbye to it. RIP.

Verifying based on the original bug filed (Dec. 3, 2000 build).

[Re-confirmed that this no longer is reproducible as part of verifying 2787.]
