[Nautilus-list] help: my nautilus is crashing

[Tony Adams <tony atoms net>]

Greetings.

Enclosed you will find a backtrace and some other information about a 
crashing nautilus. It worked fine for me for a couple of months, then 
recently started crashing amlost  immediately after starting. I used it 
just long enough to really appreciate the application.

Thank you very much for any insight you can offer.

Here is a bit of info about my system:
Red Hat 7.2 (Enigma)

$ uname -a
Linux marmot.se.insighome.com 2.4.7-10 #1 Thu Sep 6 17:27:27 EDT 2001 
i686 unknown

I'm running GNOME and sawfish.

With the help of  the very gracious Evil-Monk on the #nautilus IRC 
channel I did some diagnostics and attempts to fix.

1. Ran oaf-slay (a lot).
2. Erased the nautilus installation. (rpm -e --nodeps --allmatches nautilus)
3. did a fresh install (rpm -Uvh --nodeps nautilus-1.0.4-43.i386.rpm)

$ nautilus --version
Gnome nautilus 1.0.4

Here is the output of attempting to run from the command line:

$ nautilus
Message: Successfully registered 
`OAFIID:nautilus_factory:bd1e1862-92d7-4391-963e-37583f0daef3'
Message: Successfully registered `OAFIID:Bonobo_Moniker_std_Factory'
Segmentation fault

And finally here is the backtrace:
