In fact the delay might be even greater, as the "sync" mount option for
FAT filesystems was deactivated.

This is why you should always right-click on the drive's icon on the
desktop and select "umount" before removing it.

That said, nautilus shouldn't crash anyway. If, by chance, you have the
occasion to try version 2.18, I'm interested to know whether it also
happens.
