Oh man...Ok sorry everyone, I'm not sure why my brain farted and I forgot that there is already a fix for this (released in Hardy, not backported to Gutsy).
--- nautilus (1:2.20.0-0ubuntu8) hardy; urgency=low * debian/patches/18_disable_signal_handler.patch: - Don't use the logging code signal handler it's buggy and makes nautilus being stuck and eat cpu on crash (LP: #150471) --- Everyone who is having this issue needs to go to the actual bug report in Launchpad, at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/+source/nautilus/+bug/150471 Make an account if you don't already have one, and post a comment on the bug requesting a backport to Gutsy. That way, the developers will see how many people this bug is currently affecting in Gutsy and hopefully will shift some momentum to it to backport it. =) - Jordan Jordan Erickson wrote: > I thought at first the similarities were dual-core CPUS - I'm having > this issue on HP Proliant ML370 (G5) servers - 2x dualcore Xeon 1.6GHz > (i386 *and* AMD64 installs).
