Created attachment 205304 [details] One of the images that makes nautilus crash Nautilus crashes (and blocks the entire system) when the user tries to view a gif file's properties. Nautilus Version: 3.2.1 Ubuntu Version: 11.10 64 bits I atach the files that makes nautilus crash
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused it. Can you get us a stack trace? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so and make sure to install debug packages first. Thanks in advance!

I can't reproduce a crash here with > nautilus from master. Yes, I mean right-click > Properties . I can't obtain the stack trace yet, but I've observed a little issue that may be is related. The bug happens in my laptop, with an integrated Intel graphics card, but not in my "big" PC (with an ATI graphics card). In any case, in my big PC the right-click properties menu is much more slower when I try with GIF files than when I try with PNG files. It's possible that my laptop (with an "older" CPU [Centrino Core 2 Duo]) can't assume a big cpu load related with the GIF file? Tomorrow I'll post here the stacktrace, good night :) .
Created attachment 205525 [details] Another image that crashes nautilus when I try to view its properties
As I said before I cannot reproduce it, and a stacktrace is needed.
Created attachment 205528 [details] Memory consumption graph. I've discovered that nautilus blocks my laptop because when I try to view the gif file properties the memory consumption grows fast as light (to consume more than 3GB :s ). The graf of memory consumption is attached, you can see the peak that appears when i try to see the file properties. At the moment, I couldn't print the stacktrace :( , I'm not experienced with gdb. I'll try with valgrind. Final comment: I saw that there are many bugs related with nautilus, gif files and memory consumption. Maybe these bugs are related.

Created attachment 205532 [details] The backtrace Here is the backtrace :)
Thanks! Pasting the backtrace here so traceparser can take a look at it: Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt. __memset_sse2 () at ../sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/../memset.S:916 916 ../sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/../memset.S: No existe el archivo o el directorio. in ../sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/../memset.S (gdb) backtrace full
+ Trace 229476
SIGINT? Did you Ctrl+C ? The trace seems to point at libexempi and not nautilus though.
yes, I did Ctrl+C (the system becomes blocked if i don't do it). I have to post here the stacktrace with the libxempi-dbg installed... or the bug must be traslated the libxempi team?
The crash is in libexempi, hence closing as NOTGNOME. Fedora 16 ships exempi 2.1.1-2.fc15.i686 Ubuntu 11.10 ships libexempi3 2.1.1-1build2 As written I cannot reproduce the problem in Fedora 16. => Please file a bug report in the bugtracker of your distribution at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu . Upstream reports could be filed at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=exempi however as it works on Fedora 16 I don't think that it makes sense at this stage.
