Description:
Description of the crash:
When a file's permissions are set so that the permissions of the file
are not viewable to the current user, and the user uses the Nautilus
"Properties" dialog (right click on a file and select "Properties"),
then selects the "Permissions" tab, Nautilus crashes.

Steps to reproduce the crash:
1. Change permissions of a file so that the file is not readable by user
x, but set the permissions of its directory to be at least readable by
user x.
2. Running Nautilus as user x, go to that directory, and right click on
the file and select "Properties", and select the "Permissions" tab.
4. Nautilus Crashes

Expected Results:
Some message saying that Nautilus cannot view the permissions of the
file.

How often does this happen?
This crash happens every time the procedure above is followed.


Debugging Information:

Backtrace was generated from '/usr/bin/nautilus'

(no debugging symbols found)...Using host libthread_db library
"/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1".

Thanks for the bug report. It appears that the stack trace didn't make it.
Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused the
crash. Please see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/getting-traces.cgi for more
information about getting a useful stack trace.
