Apologies for totally missing your bug report.
I'm not able to reproduce this on Ubuntu, but I do however note that the following is problematic:
1. put `/tmp/foo/` in ~/.config/safe-rm
2. try deleting that directory using `rm -rf /tmp/foo` or `rm -rf /tmp/foo/`
My expectation is that #2 would fail and the directory would be preserved, but it's not. A trailing slash means that the directory is fair game for deletion.
If you are still seeing something else on Red Hat, would you mind sharing a ~/.config/safe-rm config file which demonstrates the crash?
