Thunar generating kernel oops on Slackware64 machine

Thunar generating kernel oops on Slackware64 machine

[Louis-Philippe Allard]

Hello!  (Please accept my apologies, I tried to send the following
email several times as html message and did not realize your server
considers html emails as potential smap and therefore rejects them)...

I have initially asked the LinuxQuestions.org community about this
issue, and have been recommended to look at the oops-tracing.txt of
the Kernel documentation.  This is why I am sending you this email.
On a machine running Slackware64 13.1 with kernel compiled and
installed from sources 2.6.37 stable, I am using XFCE as the DE.  I
noticed whenever I launch Thunar and expand the folder tree on the
left pane, thunar freeze (seems to search for something as I can still
click the other folders/locations) but the window is empty and the
cursor is "busy".
I need to kill thunar in order to exit.

I also noticed this output in the terminal when this happens (it
always happens):

A complete oops contains more information than this; search for this
somewhere in /var/log/messages.
