Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

When I visit a folder with large (DV-formated) avi files, nautilus seems
to sequentially map every one of them into memory. Memory usage goes up
and down with file size. When it eventually comes to a file larger than
system memory, ram usage stops at 70-75% and nautilus eventually ends up
running at 100% CPU. It actually behaves like this with any directory
containing avi files, but the compressed ones simply pass without to
much ado (though it can easily be seen using top)

It is then possible to kill the window (probably only) when "force"
appears. System will come back to normal. If I kill the window before
100% CPU occurs, it will close down without delay (though this probably
doesn't mean much).
