Bad files selection size evaluation in Nautilus.



Hi !

	I've just noticed that when select some files in nautilus, if a
symlink points on a directory that is a subtree of the selection and you
use the 'properties' panel (right-click->menu->properties) to get the 
selection size, the elements in that subtree are counted twice !

Here is an example

Home/
  dir1/
    sdir11/
    sdir12/
      sdir121/    <--+
        sdir1211/    |
	sdir1212/    |
      sdir122/       |
  dir2/              |
    sdir21/          |
    sdir22/          |
  dir3/              |
    sdir31/          |
  dir4/    link to --+

So if you select dir1, dir2 and dir4, the properties panel gives the size of
the following tree:

 dir1/
   sdir11/
   sdir12/
     sdir121/
       sdir1211/
       sdir1212/
     sdir122/
 dir2/
   sdir21/
   sdir22/
 dir4/
   sdir121/
     sdir1211/
     sdir1212/

So the content of the sdir121 subtree is counted twice !

I've tried to look at gnome's bugzilla but it seems to be down!
So my questions are:
	Is that a known issue ?
  and if not
        Is the debian bts a good place to report such a bug ?

Thanks,
Nicolas.
