Package: gtk+2.0
Severity: important
Tags: patch

gtk_recent_files_menu_populate() does not guard against recursion, which
can cause crashes when large sets of files are manipulated (think:
pbuilder). The attached patch corrects this behaviour.

It is also a bug filed in GNOME bugzilla at:
  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=507605

and also in Ubuntu (via Launchpad) at:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/180463

Please consider applying this patch as soon as possible.
