Sorry for the lack of info.=20

The bug is triggered with recently used files which are bound to
gnome-vfs's http module. If I open a location http://somewhere.com/file in
gedit and then close it, it will be in the recent files list. On the next
start, it dies.

I recompiled gedit without optimization and debug stripping,
so gdb gives:

egg-recent-item.c is using gnome-vfs (judging from a quick glance at the
source).

The problem is the same with gnome-panel. If there is a file with a
http:// URI in "Recent Documents", it crashes too.
And looking at its source, it has the same version of egg-recent-item.c.
Why isn't this a lib? This is sick.

Found it in #294532.
I'm CC-ing.
