Description of problem: Issuing 'gedit filename.txt' or right- clicking the text file from Nautilus and choosing Open With | Gedit causes it to crash. Starting Gedit alone, then using Open to browse to the file works. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gedit- 2.2.2-1 for ia64 How reproducible: Start gedit from the CLI with filename argument or right-click the filename and choose Open With | Gedit. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Nautilus. 2. Browse to text file. 3. Right-click and chose Open With | Gedit. Actual results: GLib-ERROR **: gmem.c:140: failed to allocate 6917529027641099397 bytes aborting... Expected results: The text file should open in gedit. Additional info: Doesn't look good when the default text editor crashes in an 'Enterprise' OS.
