Comment 10 for bug 235326

I've been experiencing the same problem for since the release of Ubuntu 8.04 and the fix mentioned at the top also didn't help me. I just want to mention how I always experience the problem just in case it offers some clues:

1. Make a Samba share on another server. Mine are unpublished i.e. you don't see them when browsing the network, but you can "cd" and log into them after which they become visible in Nautilus.
2. Use Gnome Commander to navigate via the ~/.gvfs directory to the samba server and open a source code file in gedit.
3. Edit and save the file.

After a couple of saves at most you get a "Transport endpoint is not connected" error and an "ls -al" of the .gvfs directory returns this:
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? .gvfs

In /var/log/messages you see this:
Jun 28 18:57:19 Green732 kernel: [ 8748.661968] gvfs-fuse-daemo[6048]: segfault at 0800007a eip b7dec540 esp b740d0ac error 4

I'm running a i386 system and all packages are up to date (2008-06-28).
