Bug#493923: nautilus hangs while browsing windows (smb) shares

[Michal R. Hoffmann]

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.20.0-6
Severity: important


Recently I have problems opening windows 2000 share in nautilus. The share opens, but after a few 
directory changes (expanding, going into) nautilus hangs and I have to force it quit. Then I cannot 
reconnect to smb share anymore (until I logout/login). I tried both with menu [File/Connect To Server] 
or with Ctrl-L smb://user@ip.address/share_name) - all the same.

The interesting part is that KDE smb connection works (at least I can start Krusader, connect to the 
share and copy files over) even when nautilus had hanged on the connection already so it seems to be 
a nautilus problem.
