[Bug 35586] Problem while opening/previewing multi-layered GIF image

Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
There is a way to capture what you're doing on your screen (with
movement) into a big multi-layered GIF file (which can lead to several
hundreds of layers). Although I don't know how to do this, I downloaded
one of those GIFs from the web (see attached file), which has about 800
layers and saved it in my home directory.

>From that moment on, when I opened my home directory with nautilus, it
had very much trouble trying to make a preview of this file : everything
went veeery slow (nautilus eating up about 75% of the RAM), nearly
completely frozen, until nautilus finally crashes, and then reopens,
automatically displaying my home directory, and the problem is back
again :)

Opening the file with eog from the command line leads to the same kind
of result : eog eats up most of the RAM but doesn't seem to end up
actually displaying the file (however, I must say I wasn't patient
enough to let it work for a very long time).

Opening the file with GIMP takes a few seconds, but GIMP manages it and
displays all the layers perfectly.
