Public bug reported:
Hi there,
/etc/init/apport-noui.conf starts on file FILE=/var/crash/*.crash
EVENT=create, but the problem is that apport might not be done writing
the .crash file for large processes (e.g. unity8 on touch is pretty
common).
I think apport should write to a temp file before putting the .crash
file in place, but this risks trying to write a bunch of crashes for the
same binary in parallel if it crashes in a loop.
Perhaps we also need some locking?
Cheers,
** Affects: apport (Ubuntu)
