Hi everyone, I'm having a pretty annoying issue.
Whenever I try to copy folders (single files seems to work fine) from/to a remote server via sftp, nautilus starts leaking memory at maybe 200 MB/s, until both RAM and swap are completely used.

I would have reported the bug, but since my machine has gone through a couple of upgrades ( i think last clear install was 10.04) and a couple of weeks ago I installed Mint (keeping my home partition), probably wouldn't get much attention.

Any idea of how to fix this, or at least how to further diagnose the issue?

Thanks
