I followed the DebuggingProgramCrash instructions, installed the 
nautilus-dbgsym package, and attempted to start the program via gdb:
wan % gdb nautilus

"/usr/bin/nautilus": not in executable format: File format not recognized


Strace output?
wan % strace nautilus
execve("/usr/bin/nautilus", ["nautilus"], [/* 42 vars */]) = -1 EFAULT (Bad 
address)
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV (core dumped) +++
Process 6558 detached

Maybe the file format was incorrect?
[mind:~] 
wan % file `which nautilus`  
/usr/bin/nautilus: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), 
for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

Hmm. What else can I try?

wan % sudo aptitude reinstall nautilus
wan % gdb nautilus

Aha! Corrupt package maybe?
