I noticed that gnome-commander crashes here as well. This happens when
subdir size counting is in progress and one closes the properties
dialog through the OK-button. To reproduce this crash view the file
properties of the directory /usr and click OK to close the dialog
while the counting is in progress.

Apart from that, I think the information on the subdir size is quite
usefull. In this way one can view all the information of a
file/directory at once.
