[Bug 445338] [NEW] In karmic the program hangs on anything

[Paweł T. Jochym]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-web-photo

After upgrade to karmic the gnome-web-photo hangs on anything I throw at
it.

How to reproduce:
You can get a hang by following invocation (one line):
gnome-web-photo --mode=photo --format=png 'http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wmsplugin/YahooDirect.html?bbox=19.9832655,50.0639502,20.0161869,50.1061982&srs=EPSG:4326&width=500&height=499' file.png

You should get the bitmap of arial photo of cracow/poland in the
file.png (you can test this in browser). Instead the program just hangs
without any message consuming 100% cpu.

Even worse it is used as thumbnailer by nautilus. Just create empty file
file.html and watch the hourglass icon for it and CPU soaring to 100%
without any result. Furthermore - it blocks further updates of other
icons until you kill the process.

The actual hanging process is /usr/bin/gnome-web-photo.real

This seems to be quite serious. Maybe not critical but high priority in
my book.
