Bug#421161: nautilus: hangs with 100% CPU for a directory containing a very wide PNG file

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.18.1-1
Severity: normal

If you have a PNG file in a directory with very large dimensions
then trying to open that directory in nautilus causes it to hang,
consuming 100% CPU (rather than, for example, displaying the
file's icon with an hourglass while the thumbnail is generated.)

To reproduce the bug, you can try this 15KiB 39730x300 image:

  mkdir hangs-nautilus
  cd hangs-nautilus
  curl 'http://mythic-beasts.com/~mark/test-00000000.png' > test.png
  nautilus .

regards,
mark
