eog crashes if new files are written to the directory it is reading from

If eog is called to read a png file from a directory like:

eog mydirectory/picture.png

while new png images are frequently added to this directory, eog crashes with random errors, e. g.:

(eog:4447): GLib-WARNING **: 00:00:37.123: Accessing a sequence while it is being sorted or searched is not allowed

(eog:4447): GLib-WARNING **: 00:00:37.124: Accessing a sequence while it is being sorted or searched is not allowed
malloc(): memory corruption
Aborted (core dumped)

This happens only if the files are written to the same directory. If the files are written to different directories, it opens it without error.
