Description of problem:

meld ~/cvstmp/dir ./dir crash under fully yummed fc6 while it works with fc5 on
the same PC ( two partitions ) and on the same dirs ( fc6 links fc5 dirs )

The error is "size-related" and "dir-related" since meld ~/cvstmp/dir/subdir
./dir/subdir works and meld /etc /tmp works.

Already reported to gnome bugzilla using bugbuddy:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370575
but they say it can't be a meld problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. meld ~/dir ./dir with a CVS dir large enough
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

see bugbuddy below

Expected results:

should work as in fc5
