Here are the versions of the relevant software: xfree86 4.2.1 libc6 2.2.5 libxft2 2.1 fontconfig 2.1 freetype 2.1.3 nautilus 2.2.0.2 kernel 2.4.20 Gnome2.2 uses libxft2 extensively. To reproduce the crash, open a nautilus window in icon view with lots of stuff in it (>300), grab the scrollbar, and shake back and forth over and over again. It may take a few seconds.
