Bug#422256: nautilus crash at flash usb pendrive removal

[André Felipe Machado]

Hello,
Thanks for your fast response.
No, I executed the same steps "average users" execute in a hurry.
It seems that the mount does not use synchronous writes, and there is a
delay between graphically dragging / moving a file and it is being
actually written to the pendrive.
If you remove the pendrive during this delay, the crash happens.
If you wait a while (around 10 seconds), then the file is written and
crash does not happen.

Regards.
Andre Felipe
