Bug#512394: python-nautilus: nautilus freezes/crashes when extension calls file.get_vfs_file_info()

[Evgeni Golov]

Package: python-nautilus
Version: 0.4.3-3
Severity: grave
Tags: patch

While fixing #512310, I discovered http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=500996
linked in the upstream report for #512310:
Nautilus will hang (or crash) when an extension calls file.get_vfs_file_info().

I attach a short nautilus extension I got from the reporter of #512310,
which makes nautilus segfault everytime on start for me.
I also attach a simple patch from upstream that fixes that issue.
