           Summary: Thunar freezes when a file of the current directory
                    changes fastly and the focus is on it
    Classification: Xfce

           Version: 1.6.10
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux

Because of some bad error handling in a big PHP app, I have to dump the PHP
backtrace to a file before it crashes (PHP). This produces a file called bt.txt
that is changing really often (each 10 PHP ticks
http://php.net/manual/en/function.register-tick-function.php).

So each 10 ticks, the content of this file is renewed and its size changes.
This makes Thunar freeze if it's opened on the containing folder of bt.txt.

I tried the following cases :
+ In the directory of bt.txt with the focus on an other file => Thunar freezes
but comes back when everything is done.
+ In the directory of bt.txt with the focus on bt.txt => Freeze and never
recover. I have to kill it (this is why i report this bug)
+ In a parent of the directory of bt.txt => no problem

Please tell me if a can provide more information.
