Bug#548343: applications utilizing gvfs crashing on 'save' attempts

[Celejar]

Package: gvfs
Version: 1.4.0-1
Severity: important


I was using Bluefish, and after working normally for a while, it began to crash
every time I tried to save a file, with these errors:

process 24944: type array 97 not a basic type
process 24944: type array 97 not a basic type
process 24944: type invalid 0 not a basic type
process 24944: type invalid 0 not a basic type
process 24944: type struct 114 not a basic type
Segmentation fault

Googling indicated that this is some sort of gvfs issue:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=512461

and sure enough, I then reproduced the same problem and error messages with
evince, and killing the gvfs processes brought things back to normal.  I have
only seen this once, and I have no idea what the trigger for this breakage was.
