Seems to be making a MacOSX-style .Trash dir* and then sometimes decides to add hundreds of duplicate entries until a "Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size" hits. So, probably a bug or two, then. * which, btw, I don't think is a common convention with MacOSX in this case? GNOME Nautilus / KDE Konqueror / XFCE Thunar all seem to use the fd.o specced trash scheme (.trashinfo undelete data etc.)
