Public bug reported:
If eog is called to read a png file from a directory like:
eog mydirectory/picture.png
while new png images are frequently added to this directory, eog crashes
with random errors, e. g.:
(eog:4447): GLib-WARNING **: 00:00:37.123: Accessing a sequence while it is
being sorted or searched is not allowed
(eog:4447): GLib-WARNING **: 00:00:37.124: Accessing a sequence while it is
being sorted or searched is not allowed
malloc(): memory corruption
Aborted (core dumped)
This happens only if the files are written to the same directory. If the files
are written to different directories, it opens it without error.
