Thanks! I didn't know what "test" meant.

Don't be a fool. There is no indication that this bug is caused by my
kernel. I had been running the same kernel for a month and then after an
update nautilus started crashing constantly. I guess going from
nautilus 2.4.0 and 2.4.1 exposed a bug in the kernel. I don't see
anyone else saying that nautilus crashes on their 2.6 kernel. I am now
running 2.6.0-test11 which will most likely become 2.6.0 -- and nautilus
is still crashing!. Using your retarded logic I guess I should just wait
until my kernel doesn't have test after its name before you will take
this bug report seriously.

I can only hope you aren't the maintainer on many packages.
