Dear Maintainer,

When using Thunar to browse a file system mounted via sshfs, Thunar
sometimes triggers 100% usage of all CPU's.  This persists until Thunar
is killed:

2024-02-26 13:26:03 dpchrist@laalaa ~
$ ps -A | grep -i thunar
   1565 ?        00:00:00 panel-27-thunar
   1624 ?        00:29:18 Thunar

2024-02-26 13:26:08 dpchrist@laalaa ~
$ kill 1624

Hello David,

unfortunately there's no much I can do with such report. It would help to
investigate a bit on what exactly the CPU is doing. Check the logs (in
.xsession-errors for example) and maybe attach to the running Thunar daemon
using strace or gdb.

Regards,
