Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
Hello,
Nautilus (v2.28.1) on ubuntu 9.10 crashes when changing to a directory
which contains mutually referring symlinks. The Bug can be reproduced
easily the following way:
1) Create some empty directory, and cd into it:
$ mkdir /tmp/crash_dir
$ cd /tmp/crash_dir
2) create in this dir a symlink to a _non-existing_ file:
$ ln -s foo bar
3) create a symlink to the just created symlink "bar" , say
$ ln -s bar foo
We now have a couple of mutually refering symlinks.
4) Trying to Open /tmp/crash_dir with nautilus causes it to terminate
with a Segmentation Fault:
$ nautilus /tmp/crash_dir/
(nautilus:3753): Eel-CRITICAL **: eel_preferences_get_boolean: assertion
`preferences_is_initialized ()' failed
Initializing nautilus-gdu extension
** (nautilus:3753): WARNING **: No marshaller for signature of signal

** (nautilus:3753): WARNING **: No marshaller for signature of signal
'DownloadFinished'
** (nautilus:3753): WARNING **: No marshaller for signature of signal
'ShareCreateError'
Segmentation fault
I admit that this is quite a pathological situation, but it could still occur
and a think that nautilus should be able to cope with it somehow.
Here is some additional information:
