This is bug 348139:

        http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348139
        
For some reason, the MIME detection code is going nuts (but not
infinitely looping) on certain files.  I've seen it with matlab (.m),
javascript (.js) and Java archive (.jar) files, but it doesn't happen
all the time for me.

I'm rather stumped on this; I don't know the mime code too well (it's
from freedesktop.org) nor do I understand why it's looping so tightly.
I'll keep investigating, however.
