Bug#409884: File-Roller hangs when clicking Extract

Package:  file-roller
Version:  2.14.4-2


file-roller hangs on clicking "Extract" button in menu for any archive.

When a file is opened in file-roller either directly via "open" or
through nautilus, the program hangs when "Extract" is chosen. The button
 depresses as it is clicked and remains there.

It dumps an error to console or .xsession-errors depending on how its
run:

*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0xb7ee60cc ***

with the last few hex numbers changing.  such as:  0xb7e2f0cc and
0xb7ef30cc

Steps to reproduce the crash:
1.  open archive
2.  click extract

Happens every time.

Works fine using nautilus context menu.

Tried re-installing file-roller but same thing happens.


Debian testing
Kernel version: 2.6.18-3-686 #1 SMP
glibc version: 2.3.6.ds1-10


Cheers,

James Anderson
