Title: apport-gtk consumes 100% CPU for way too long after something crashes Status in apport package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Something (related to Cinnamon) crashes, so the usual popup appears telling me that something crashed, and asking me whether I wanted to send a report. I choose Send. Every time this happens, then a process called apport-gtk starts consuming 100% CPU and it goes on for several minutes, so long that I end up killing it. There's no way there is a good reason for consuming so much CPU for so long. If you need to do such an amount of processing just to generate and send a bug report, something is deeply broken. But if the operation actually had to be that computationally expensive, then you must do it in a less intensive way so that it can go on in the background, for no matter how long, without rendering me unable to use my computer.
