I was copying a 600mb file from a Windows machine when it appears the link timed out. Perfectly acceptable. However... the Nautilus copying window would not close... All it's doing is sitting there counting up the time remaining (this is almost a full 12 hour after I tried to copy). I have since deleted the file, and recopied it along with other copies. The window just sits there, no error message... just time remaining slowly counting up. I've tried to click the X to close it and that doesn't work. I've clicked cancel several times. There's no process in ps aux that I can kill to get rid of this. Looks like all I can do is kill nautilus to get rid of it. I tried a similar copy using Samba command line tools and generated the same timeout and the command line tools reported an error message and stopped attempting the copy.

i think this is more an upstream thing, at least i don't have an SMB setup to test. But before going upstream I'd suggest cleaning your CFLAGS, because like this it won't be taken too serious i bet.
Re-open if this still exists with saner CFLAGS.
Mike, please. Don't you think that's been tested? And plus, if you actually read the report. You could tell it's an upstream issue. Not an CFLAGS issue. Plus, this issue occurs over 2 machines. I don't know why I posted my emerge info of that machine. But the other machine is identical except it's only "-march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe" (aka my dev machine)
Apologies I was going off foser's previous comment. Do you have better luck with the newer versions of gnome-vfs and nautilus? Can you report this upstream and post a link back here with the relevant bug? Thanks
apolgies for what ? The info we had warrants the closing, I indicated what needed to be done, but no reply was received until it actually got closed. I bet this is a pure vfs issue btw.
Cardoe: was this reported upstream, if not, is it fixed in the latest version of nautilus / gnome-vfs? Thanks!
no response from reporter, reopen if necessary.
