Bug Description

This issue is with hoary. Apologies if this isn't the correct package to report
against.

Steps to reproduce.

1) Have a CD mounted.
2) Have a nautilus window of the CD opened.
3) Open Places->Computer
4) Right-Click CD icon and "eject"
5) This freezes my entire system and all I can do is reboot.

Note that if I close the nautilus window browsing the CD and then eject,
everything works fine.
