The memory leak occurs when the file attempted to be thumbnailed. In 8.04 the file did not try to have a thumbnail rendered, so I changed the extension, to see if that version of nautilus, would exhibit the same memory leak. It did, so tried 7.10 which did not attempt to create a thumbnail regardless of the extension.
