Update: apparently, the browser doesn't really "freeze". I bumped into
an instance of Gnome-Commander which I'd forgotten to kill, after 2-3

subtree. I clicked on a random subdir and it opened instantly.
However, when I attempted to browse back to the parent level, Gnome-
Commander froze yet again...
