Xfce Thunar 1.6.10 still crashes on file renames

Thunar 1.6.10_2 (installed from package):
Code:
root@kg-quiet# pkg info Thunar*
Thunar-1.6.10_2
This machine runs FreeBSD 10.3-release-p11:
Code:
root@kg-quiet# uname -a
FreeBSD kg-quiet.kg4.no 10.3-RELEASE-p11 FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p11 #0: Mon Oct 24 18:49:24 UTC 2016     
root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64
all additional software (Xorg, Xfce, etc) is installed from official packages. Nothing is installed from source.

The problem is that thunar crashes when I rename files: simply rename a few files in a window, and thunar crashes.
Code:
root@kg-quiet# grep thunar /var/log/messages
Nov 12 20:18:08 kg-quiet kernel: pid 76065 (thunar), uid 1001: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)
Nov 12 20:28:58 kg-quiet kernel: pid 80376 (thunar), uid 1001: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)
I don't understand why, as this package includes the patch that is supposed to fix those crashes.
I ran gdb on the core dump, but since everything is installed from packages, it might not be very interesting:
Code:
tingo@kg-quiet$ gdb thunar thunar.core

Anything else I can do?
 
FWIW, this can be Xfce bug 12264, but it is hard to tell. Also, that bug seems to be a very nasty can of worms that hasn't been fixed yet.
 
I'm wondering if this is related to the old kqueue file monitor bug in glib (PR 199872) that still exists on all BSDs. That one was never properly fixed.
 
No idea about that one. Currently, my workaround is using x11-fm/xfe (installed from a package) to rename files. That works well, Thunar hasn't crashed a single time since I started with xfe. Thunar happily updates the changes in file names, but doesn't crash. I still use Thunar for moving and copying files, and it doesn't crash on those operations.
 
That happens to me too. Been a problem for a long time and it's extremely annoying.

I think I'll try XFE.
 
A few weeks ago I tried FreeBSD 11-RELEASE with Mate. I had crashes in Caja (Mate file manager) after visiting a few directories containing multiple files and then removing some or oall of the directories. On 10.x I had Caja freeze or crash if I visited a directory with a lot of files and them remove the files outside of Caja (e.g. in shell using rm). XFE always worked great without any problems but I find it not as convenient as Caja to start different applications based on file type.

That does sound like the bug described in PR 199872. The fact that Caja crashes when you remove files is at least a hint that it could be a problem with file monitoring. The patch for devel/glib20 in the PR by Vladimir Kondratyev works great for me.
