Yes, according to ps it is. According to strace, it is waiting for a
futex forever.

int main()
{
    sleep( -1 );
    printf("Will never print me");
    return 0;
}

will be running as well, but never print the message or exit. ps will
say it is running :)

No, this bug was not about "natilus -c causing failures with different
LANG and terminating with errors".  This bug was "natilus -c (as
example) running and stalling. Test was never complete and nautilus was
waiting for some futex".

Ok. I guess it can be closed. These were old .gnome* directories, way back since gnome 2.0 came out.. or possibly Gnome <=1.4. Probably some compatibility problems.
