After poking about with valgrind I think this is a bug in gnome-vfs2-2.8.2-8 .
My attempts to pinpoint the exact spot using gdb weren't very successful though.

Valgrind reports an invalid read before this too.

Comment 2 petrosyan 2005-03-30 20:38:25 UTC

this bug still happens when you run:

$ ggv http://www

from the command line

Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2005-04-25 03:04:59 UTC

Doesn't seem to happen here anymore with gnome-vfs2-2.10.0-3, so only an FC-3 
(and possibly RHEL) issue.

Comment 4 petrosyan 2005-05-11 00:44:56 UTC

ggv has been removed from FC4
