I will try easy instruction to reproduce the bug

1) Create some files with the same name
2) Search for this files with (german) "Orte->Dateien suchen" (I think File search in englisch) and delete them (Not in a nautilus windows! You must do it in the windows from gnome-search-tool).

Example:

1) create a file "neue Datei". Search for it with the gnome-search-tool and delete them. In the Trash you have a file with the name "neue Datei".
2) Do the same and in the Trash you have a file with the name "neue Datei (Kopie)"
3) Do the same and in the Trash you have a file with the name "neue Datei (noch eine Kopie)"
4) Do the same and in the Trash you have a file with the name "neue Datei (3. Kopie)"
5) Do the same and in the Trash you have a file with the name "neue Datei (4. Kopie). Kopie)"
6) Do the same and in the Trash you have a file with the name "neue Datei (5. Kopie). Kopie). Kopie)"
...
xx) Do the same and in the Trash you have a file with the name "neue Datei (xx. Kopie). Kopie). Kopie)..."
xx+1) Do the same and you become an error

Each file name is in the german Version is length(". Kopie)")=8 longer than the file name before & 255/8 = 31.875. -> The delete of the 32. (or less) file with the same name will make the "Name is to long" error.

Remember this bug is only in gnome-search-tool. When I delete the files in nautilus the creating of the file names for the Trash is correct ("neue Datei", "neue Datei (Kopie)", "neue Datei (noch eine Kopie)", "neue Datei (4. Kopie)", neue Datei (5. Kopie) ...
But when you delete them in gnome-search-tool you become ("neue Datei", "neue Datei (Kopie)", "neue Datei (noch eine Kopie)", "neue Datei (4. Kopie). Kopie)", "neue Datei (5. Kopie). Kopie). Kopie)", ...) and than an error when the File name is too long (I think more than 255 characters).
