I can confirm the apparently crazy behavior that Phil reported. The file
from Phil, when put in the home directory, crashes nautilus with the
following error (NOTICE: it's a crash in glibc!)

Jan  2 12:09:40 romano-asus kernel: [307815.741994] nautilus[10155]: segfault at b6ad7fd8 ip 073fad89 sp b6ad7fdc error 6 in libc-2.13.so[738b000+176000]
Jan  2 12:10:05 romano-asus kernel: [307839.937064] nautilus[10186]: segfault at b6b09fd8 ip 036afd89 sp b6b09fdc error 6 in libc-2.13.so[3640000+176000]

If I put it in a subdir, the thumbnail is not generated, but nautilus do
not crash. I can  open the svg  in eog, it just uses a lot of resources,
and so much memory that the system is sluggish after doing it, and need
a while to come back to normal behavior.

Error #6 is ENXIO? Invalid device or address?

Evidently the problem is still here, and quite severe too. Put that file
in your home dir and a non-technical user will be unable to open
Nautilus again.

Title:
  Nautilus crashing/freezing when opening folder with svg file

Status in libRSVG - SVG Rendering Library:
  New
Status in “librsvg” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in Debian GNU/Linux:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Strange thing started happening a few days ago: When I access nautilus
  from the Places menu and open my home directory (named eric) nautilus
  always freezes.

  I can open subdirectories and other bookmarks such as Documents,
  Pictures, etc and browse files, but the second I browse to my main
  home directory, nautilus freezes.  I can click any icons for sub-
  folders in my home folder, but nautilus will hang and, within a few
  seconds, turn grey and stay that way.

  The only way to get nautilus to close is by forcing a quit.

  I can access any of the files and folders by CLI, or by using emelFM2.

  After much searching, I found an old bug report at:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/librsvg/+bug/30010

  . . . which seemed to blame the crashiness on folders containing an
  svg image.

  Interestingly enough, I was messing around in Inkscape the other day
  trying to create a business card and saved my work into my home folder
  as an svg. As soon as I deleted or moved that file Nautilus no longer
  crashes.
