Description Günther Köckerandl 2008-08-25 15:07:24 UTC 
Version:           1.1 (using KDE 4.1.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When hovering the mouse over a FIFO, dolphin stops responding until I kill it manually.

Steps to reproduce:
 1) mkfifo THEFIFO
 2) open Dolphin
 3) hover mouse over THEFIFO

What I expected to happen:
 Dolphin shows some basic information about the FIFO.

What happened instead:
 Dolphin stops responding.

My Guess:
 It looks like Dolphin tries to open(2) the FIFO with O_RDONLY, which blocks (see strace snippet).

Package Version:
Package: dolphin, 4:4.1.0-0ubuntu2
Architecture: amd64
Ubuntu Release: Ubuntu intrepid (development branch), 8.10
