You already spotted the invalid free()'s earlier. Now you just need to
make Thunar crash, i.e. run Thunar with

export G_SLICE=always-malloc
export MALLOC_CHECK_=2

and be sure to terminate any running instance first (Thunar -q).

BTW: The trash framework is now committed, so you can use SVN snapshots
again.
