Using the latest pkg repo on FreeBSD 13.1, Nautilus crashes with segmentation fault entering some directories.

Removing and downgrading will lead to more trouble:


doas pkg remove nautilus

Deinstallation has been requested for the following 10 packages (of 0 packages in the universe):

Proceed with deinstalling packages? [y/N]:
 
I think it is a thumbnailing issue because it doesn't happen when disabling thumbnailing in nautilus.
 
I played with Nemo and could get into the directory without crashing. It happened on a particular video I downloaded with youtube-dl with an (old) alias: yt='youtube-dl --add-metadata -i -o '\''%(upload_date)s-%(title)s.%(ext)s'\'
 
The downloaded youtube file had a mkv extension. I downloaded a sample mkv file yesterday and no problem with Nautilus. Today entering the ~/Download folder made Nautilus crash again. I moved the sample mkv file to another location and could enter the ~/Download folder again, so something probably with the mkv extension/filetype.
 
The default remote repository for 13.1 seems to hang on Nautilus 42.1. Is it safe to compile 42.2 from ports tree? I noticed, it tries to recompile a sub-tree of dependencies, that might or might not break the desktop system.
