Bug#572440: gvfs: applications freeze on some tasks

[Davide Prina]

Package: gvfs
Version: 1.4.3-1
Severity: important

I have applications freeze principally on:
* GDM logon
* open/save dialog

I have find that I can stop the freeze by doing:
# /etc/init.d/dbus stop
wait few second
# /etc/init.d/dbus start

When I have a freeze some application do not respond anymore and the
CPU is used at 100%

On log on I do:
* Ctrl-Alt-F1
* root
# /etc/init.d/dbus stop
I see these errors:
gvfs-gdu-volume[2605]: segfault at 84 ip b7689518 sp bfe57eb0 error 4
in libdbus-1.so.3.4.0 [b767c000+37000]
END_REQUEST: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
END_REQUEST: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0

there is an automatic logout and the restart of dbus.
Now I can logon with gdm and work.

If I try to logon with gdm without doing the dbus stop I have the
freeze of Gnome. Now I do Ctrl-Alt-F1 ... dbus stop ... I have a lot
of errors (invalid memory and so on ... the screen scrool up)

Sometime when I open a Open/Save dialog, take screenshot, ... I have a
freeze of the application I'm using.
I do dbus stop (without errors) and dbust start and the freeze go
away: the open/save dialog show up and I can use it without problems.

Ciao
Davide
