I'm not sure if this bug has anything to do with Nautilus's limit on number of
files in a directory, but I'm hitting it every time when trying to improve the
UI after this limit is hit.

To reproduce:
(1) Edit libnautilus-extensions/nautilus-directory.h, changing
NAUTILUS_DIRECTORY_FILE_LIST_HARD_LIMIT from its default value of 4000 to
something nice and easily reproducible like 40. Recompile. (I don't think this
step is necessary in the abstract, but it helps make a simple reproducible case
easy to reach.)
(2) Launch Nautilus. You may get a dialog about there being too many items in
your home directory, which you can ignore.
(3) Click "Find" button to get Search UI widgets.
(4) Type "es" as the search criterion (no doubt any short common string will do,
but this is what I've been using)
(5) Hit return or click button to start search

After a few seconds, search results appear in the list, then the seg fault
occurs. The segfault happens here:

void
gnome_vfs_job_prepare (GnomeVFSJob *job,
    		       GnomeVFSOpType type,
    		       GFunc callback,
    		       gpointer callback_data)
{
    	GnomeVFSOp *op;
    
    	g_mutex_lock (job->access_lock);

The job parameter is 0, so dereferencing it fails. The relevant part of the
stack trace is:

+ Trace 9730

The code is cancelling a top-left text fetch, and gnome-vfs can't seem to find
the associated job and is barfing. I don't know if the bug is in gnome-vfs or
the nautilus-directory code that's calling it.

I'm moving this to P2/PR3 because it's a crasher that's blocking development, at
least at the moment.

I'm working on a fix.

I'm making this the active bug to track what was 5474. It's a much better bug
report.

I'm no longer able to reproduce 5474, and am therefore marking this bug
verified. 

(Sullivan says they're equivalent, and this one doesn't need to be separately
verified.)
