turns out this actually happens when there is a duplicate entry in the .hidden file.
it has nothing to do with ntfs drives. (i happened to browse a folder with the problem on both of my machines)
I am not sure if this is worth fixing or not, most people will not run into it much.

Reproduction steps:
1. create a .hidden file in any directory.
2. place a filename into the file twice (on separate lines). the filename does not have to exist.
3. browse to the folder in nautilus and press ctrl+H OR browse to the folder in nautilus and click on another folder, either a subfolder or any other folder

** Description changed:

- opening nautilus and attempting to click on any folders in a NTFS
- drive/partition will consistently crash nautilus (also causing desktop
- icons to disappear), usually after clicking through one or two folders.
+ opening nautilus and attempting to click on any folders in a folder with
+ a .hidden file that has a duplicate entry will consistently crash
+ nautilus (also causing desktop icons to disappear).

i have attached terminal output from when the crash occurs, 2 seperate ones.
my system locks up (but mouse still moves, music keeps playing) when nautilus is loading, after the 3rd line of terminal output.
