Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

Ubuntu 10.04
nautilus 1:2.30.1-0ubuntu1.1
I created alot of subfolders with simple script
#!/bin/bash
         COUNTER=0
         while [ $COUNTER -lt 56000 ]; do
             mkdir $COUNTER
             cd ./$COUNTER
             let COUNTER=COUNTER+1
         done
and tried to open last one with nautilus. But after 23 subfolders nautilus freezes and takes 100% CPU.
