Can you all confirm/infirm that?

I am currently on Thunar 1.6.13.
The script
Ken Milmore
mentioned did not trigger a Thunar freeze in a "normal" directory. It was flashing furiously, though.
When I changed to a large directory (ls * | wc -l = 5,364) the behavior with this script was different. The cursor changed to a "busy" type symbol. But the file manager was still active and functional. This time Ctrl C did not work to quit the process, but I was still able to close both the terminal window and Thunar. I think maybe this is just related to the script. But eventually my machine recovered, there was no crash or freeze, and Thunar always remained responsive to the user.
In my case when encountering this problem, I was running tests in EiffelStudio, and these tests resulted in removing / editing a dozen or two log files which were visible in the Thunar window (as I always had it sorted by Date modified with most recent at the top). So that activity is consistent with the reports in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=868704 .
I tried a sample of my former activity and didn't have any problems with 1.6.13, so I think this probably was the same bug.
