[solved] segfault due to stack overflow in nautilus 3.16.2

nautilus 3.16.2 would crash when clicking elsewhere after opening the gtk menu widget associated with the second button in the top right, that looks like a grid of points.
I makepkg'ed with debug and !strip then gdb'ed nautilus and it sure did look like segfault due to about 58000 stack frames.
I modified the ABS PKGBUILD for nautilus to get 3.17.91 and after having to do the same to get gtk3 3.17.5 and pango 1.37.1 it built, installed and the problem is gone.
Oh yeah, I had to:

touch /usr/bin/pango-querymodules
chmod a+rwx /usr/bin/pango-querymodules
[install with pacman -U]

At this point /usr/bin/pango-querymodules was empty despite pacman -U giving up if it is not there and does not have permission to overwrite it.
So, I;

rm /usr/bin/pango-querymodules

I'm sure there is a _way_ less dodgy method to stop the complaint about /usr/bin/pango-querymodules, but...
It's Friday.
