I spent some time poking around with this problem. Creating empty files named 
things like "forEd, firEd, forMe, forYou" all created the freeze. So, on the 
theory that I might have a munged directory, I copied the entire directory 
elsewhere. In the new copy, I could duplicate the error. Ok, so that made me 
start looking at various other things inside the directory.
I have a file which was named lcareport.sh but which was actually a Perl script 
(first line #!/usr/bin/perl -w) rather than bash. This particular file also had 
(in the original directory) an "Important" icon attached to it.  In the 
duplicate directory, no icon was attached. When I attached the "Important" 
icon, Nautilus froze.
So, I renamed the file to just "lcareport."  This seems to have corrected the 
problem.  "for..." files can be created at will and the renamed file can have 
an 
"important" icon attached, all without causing a freeze.  SO, Nautilus seems to 
have been paying overmuch attention to a .sh file type.
Can you duplicate this problem now?
