This looks more like a glib2.0 bug. The whole stacktrace is made of the functions from gio or glib.
First g_hash_table_foreach_remove_or_steal function calls g_hash_table_remove_node [1], then it gets to rate_limiter_free function, whose argument ("limiter") equals 0 at that moment for some reason. Right after that it crashes on dereferencing NULL pointer [2]. I can't explain why all that happens, it's all internal glib/gio stuff, but I'm pretty sure something should be corrected in that code. The similar report from Fedora 20 where glib2.0 is 2.38 and it's another application (caja) that crashes also confirms that the problem is in glib2.0.
