Gam_server continually segfaults when invoked by nautilus. It then continually repsawns. In the meantime, however, nautilus and gnome-settings-daemon both use up all avaialble resources on both cores, coming close to bringing down the machine.

Gamin version ... ?
.1.6
Recent occurance? I see its a Dual Core amd64, and while its working fine here on my normal amd64, I just want to check if it might be a locking issue (ie, previous versions worked on same system and cpu) on SMP/Dual Core systems Gamin side, or such.
This is actually the first version of gamin i've ever used on this system. Primarily, I use famd for this sort of thing. In any case, I figured i'd test what was in the gnome upgrade doc to ensure all was ok on amd64 dual core...seems it may not be. The good news is, however, that this is the only issue i've experienced thus far. I'll try a previous version in the meantime.
Can you try gamin-0.1.7 or gamin-0.1.6-r1? Seems there was a double free in the code.
this bug is fixed in .1.7
