File browser crashes when entering/leaving an updating filder

Package: nautilus Severity: normal Version: 2.0.6 Synopsis: File browser crashes when entering/leaving an updating filder Bugzilla-Product: nautilus Bugzilla-Component: general BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (2.0.3) Description: Description of Problem: A large number of files are being copied from CD. Each file is a few meg in size. As the files are being copied, nautilus will intermitently crash when entering the destination folder for the copy, or when leaving the folder (via the Back button) Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Open a terminal 2. cp the contents of a CD to some destination directory 3. Open a file viewer 4. Navigate to the destination directory 5. Leave directory 6. Re-enter directory 7. Repeat steps 5 & 6 as necessary Actual Results: Nautilus crashes with a segmentation fault and restarts. It automatically opens a file browsing window for, I assume, the window pointed at the destination directory when it restarts. It restarts by pointing to the user's home directory however. The window opened for the contents of the CD via automount is not re-opened. Expected Results: Well, not crashing for starters... :) How often does this happen? It does not occur each time I attempt to navigate into or out of the folder as the instructions suggest. So, I would classify it as sporadic at best. However, it has happened twice in the span of approximately 30 minutes to an hour. I'm in the process of copying over quite a number of CDs. Additional Information: Running on essentially a stock version of Red Hat 8.1. No updates (to my knowledge) have been applied to Nautilus since installation. The transfer is going from a SCSI CD drive to an "extra storage" IDE disk. In other words, the destination drive does not contain system data that Gnome/Nautilus might be competing for access to. Debugging Information: Backtrace was generated from '/usr/bin/nautilus' (no debugging symbols found)...[New Thread 8192 (LWP 11584)] [New Thread 16385 (LWP 11585)] [New Thread 8194 (LWP 11586)] [New Thread 16387 (LWP 11587)] [New Thread 24580 (LWP 11588)] [New Thread 32773 (LWP 11589)] 0x420ae169 in wait4 () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6

This was commonly reported with 2.0.6 but seems to be fixed in the 2.2 series. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 77331 ***
