	What sort of URI are you using ? file:, or something exotic ?

	Who can guess ? but I think the fault for innumerable un-fixable bugs
will also lie with your package vendor:

	There are no useful debugging symbols in that library !

	There are in this one - which I assume you build yourself.

	So - as a short term solution hammer on the person you got your
gnome-vfs package from until they ship with debugging symbols. Then we
might have more of a chance of solving the problem trivially.
Alternatively read every method in the stack trace looking for sillies.

	In the meantime of course - building your own gnome-vfs is probably the
best option ( from CVS use the gnome-2-0 tag. ie cvs -z3 checkout -r
gnome-2-0 gnome-vfs ).

	HTH,

		Michael.
