Ralph,
Thanks for this. However, when I tried this, I got:
terry@optiplex:~$ coredumptctl
Command 'coredumptctl' not found, did you mean:
command 'coredumpctl' from deb systemd-coredump (257.9-0ubuntu2)
Try: sudo apt install <deb name>
terry@optiplex:~$ sudo apt install systemd-coredump

As far as I can tell, apport is the package that is supposed to
intercept crashes and guide the user as to how to raise a bug report, so
I'd rather not remove that, (I could remove it temporarily I suppose).
There seems to be a lot going on here, particularly around the fact that
apport is not detecting the crash.
