Good question.
Google "pool : segfault" leads to among others
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=707681
which I believe is unrelated (cameras, USB) but (message #15) also
involves "pool" (pointing vaguely at dbus). Is "pool" related to thread
pools?
or https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1092046
which at least involves Nautilus so may be more closely related. This
points at Gnome bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674659
which at least gives me some hints about running Nautilus under gdb.
If I can dig up anything this way I'll update.
