Description

Not sure if it's related to Bug 7384 or not, but I felt it was different enough that it was worth filing as a separate bug.

Tumblerd likes to hang on my system using up 100% of my CPU.

The problem doesn't seem to require I had a thunar window open, and it doesn't seem to have any pattern that I could see. Thunar works fine during these crashes, however thumbnails don't generate obviously, however a few times I've had thunar freeze on me showing nothing but a blank directory inside an unresponsive window until I killed either it or/and tumblerd.

Running on a Gentoo x86-64 system. Haven't done a proper debug using gdb, but I plan to it now. The segfault below is from dmesg. I have noticed that it will not always spit out segfault errors when it freezes on me, as I found out while tailing dmesg. It might also be worth noting that everything seemed to have worked fine until I switched from my Intel GPU to and nVidia 6600GT using the non-free drivers.
