.dat file that crashes X/gnome

if i browse a directory with this file, gst-thumbnailer crashes gnome, i
think it might be trying a HUGE malloc or something because i can hear my
PC churning away, X becomes totally unresponsive.

the dat file resposible is a data file format of my own that details
polygons for a 3d program. obviously your thumbnailer thinks its some sort
of video and can't tell that it isn't one.
