Thanks for the response. I understand memory corruption bugs all look fairly generic in terms of their error messages but linking this issue to similar bugs on launchpad is the only way I can get anyone to pay attention.
It crashes randomly. I have not been able to find any correlation with any behavior of my part. It crashes while Thunar is idling in the background and I am using another computer entirely. The filesystems don't seem to matter. It crashes when the only thing I have open is my home directory. Or when the only thing I have open is the root of the filesystem. I do have NFS shares mounted most of the time but when I tried not mounting these share the same crashes occur. I have been trying to find a timing pattern to the bug for weeks now. There is none. To give you an idea of the frequency of the crashes while Thunar idles looking only at an empty directory in my ~/, see the syslog excerpts from tonight: Sep 24 19:14:20 localhost kernel: [83443.846282] gmain[8368]: segfault at 4f983fa ip 00007f4d7aab3297 sp 00007f4d738e7a10 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.4000.0[7f4d7aa4f000+106000] Sep 24 19:17:32 localhost whoopsie[1292]: Parsing /var/crash/_usr_bin_thunar.1000.crash.
