        on some packages, reportbug uses an incredible amount of memory.
Where 'reportbug reportbug' uses about 10MiB of resident memory,
'reportbug compiz' startup memory usage grows up to 130MiB res, and then stays
at 75MiB. This is incredible for such a command line tool. This also renders
reportbug hardly usable on system with 128MiB of memory.

A viable workaround for now is to use --offline, which bypasses the
HTML parsing code that seems to be eating memory (for non-obvious
reasons, I might add).
