Absolutely. grepping through the sources for fgetsattr finds two such calls within thunar-vfs/thunar-vfs-mime-database.c. > I sure can't reproduce this.

The program being unusable was the justification for my tagging the bug as "grave". > Hmhm, I can understand that. What I fail to see is why it tries to do > some stuff in /proc.

Looking at thunar-vfs-mime-database.c shows that one could work around this issue by not defining HAVE_FGETXATTR while configuring the package. But upstream should really have a closer look at this. A file manager that is used by ordinary users should stay out of /proc, /sys, and /dev. Cheers, -Hilko -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
