Description Joe Kandaba 2007-10-11 09:12:08 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I came a across an svg file (see attachment) that causes Nautilus to use 100% CPU and makes the system unusable. 
I guess it has to do with the thumbnail generation.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Place attached file on your Desktop



Actual results:
CPU usage goes up to 100%

Expected results:
I would like to get a thumbnail preview of the file or (if the thumbnailer detects that the file is too big or whatever) display a generic icon.

Does this happen every time?
Yep

Other information:
You can get the file that causes the problem here: https://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo/projects/haf/trunk/hildon-theme-plankton/template/template.svg

Nice one.

Is this a valid SVG? Even Gimp cannot open it.
On my machine memory usage goes up until the kernel kills nautilus.

The file is found in http://repository.maemo.org/pool/diablo/free/h/hildon-theme-plankton/hildon-theme-plankton_4.14.4-1.tar.gz and it includes xlink:href represented by absolute path. So this bug is a duplicate of bug 590788.
