Hey,

as I proposed some time ago, I’d like to improve the way we approach crash 
dumps.

I’d suggest to use breakpad instead of our current hackish approach. It’s used 
by Mozilla to help get an overview of prevailing problems in their applications 
(e.g. Firefox).

See https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/home/products/Firefox for an exemplary web 
interface implementation of the server (https://github.com/mozilla/socorro).
Have a look at https://code.google.com/p/google-breakpad/wiki/LinuxStarterGuide 
to see the code necessary to get started on the client side.

I’d write the code to detect a backtrace and (with the user’s consent) send it 
to our Socorro instance. What do you guys think?
If there are no political/design objections (e.g. „won’t be accepted 
upstream“), I’d work on it.

Best Regards,

Leif
