This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.10-0ubuntu1
---------------
apport (2.10-0ubuntu1) saucy; urgency=low
[ Martin Pitt ]
* New upstream release. Changes since our previous snapshot:
- Support retracing foreign powerpc reports, thanks Steve Langasek.
- apport/report.py: Generate a crash signature for suspend/resume failures.
- hookutils.py: Add attach_upstart_logs(), thanks Steve Langasek.
- hookutils.py, in_session_of_problem(): Port from ConsoleKit to logind.
- apport/report.py: Handle the case where the user has been removed from
the system, but one of its still-running binaries crashes (LP: #1163453).
- Fix anonymization of user/GECOS fields with regexp control characters
like '+'. (LP: #985049)
- Run tests under LC_CTYPE=C and unset LANG as well, to discover
assumptions about UTF-8 locales. Fix the two failing tests.
- Fix UnicodeDecodeError when apport encounters non-ASCII environment
variables. (LP: #1172638)
* debian/control: Update Vcs-* for saucy branch.
* data/general-hooks/cloud_archive.py: Fix PEP-8 error.
[ Steve Langasek ]
* data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Call attach_upstart_logs(), to attach the
logs for any upstart user jobs shipped by the binary package.

Title:
Apport crashes when processing dump if environment variable contains
utf-8 characters
Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
When doing a simple:
sh -c 'kill -SEGV $$'
Apport would crash and give me:
ERROR: apport (pid 5416) Thu Apr 25 11:27:48 2013: called for pid 5415,
signal 11, core limit 0

This was tracked down to it not liking UTF-8 in the environment as Martin
then reproduced with:
sh -c 'export LANG=ü; kill -SEGV $$'
