Below a way that should crash nautilus. The required file can be downloaded.

mkdir -p a/b
cd a/b
wget http://stream.shockwave.com/afassets/ninjai2/nj_chapterninjai01_bb.swf

{for info:
   bird:~/a/b$ ls -l
      total 5124
      -rw-r--r--  1 f f 5234412 2003-09-25 18:38 nj_chapterninjai01_bb.swf

   bird:~/a/b$ file nj_chapterninjai01_bb.swf
      nj_chapterninjai01_bb.swf: Macromedia Flash data, version 5
}

bird:~/a/b$ nautilus --no-desktop --browser .
   A Nautilus window fires up showing an icon for nj_chapterninjai01_bb.swf.
   One can notice that nautilus keeps the icon 'trying to identify' but do
   not switch to the icon '.swf recognized'.
Then clicking on the up arrow of nautilus should lead to the crash very
rapidly (either immediatetly or by reentering in folder b).

Can somebody reproduce the crash ?
I do not know if this swf is corrupted or not. Different and smaller swf files
didn't lead to crash. Other ninjai files also lead to crash. The swf can
be normally viewed (=seems functionnal).
Anyway it should not (tm) lead to nautilus crash.

I hope above may help a bit.
Nice day,
Franck
