Title:
  nautilus crashes when changing to directory which contains mutually
  referring symlinks

Status in Nautilus:
  Fix Released
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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:

  $ lsb_release -rd
