Apport consumes 100% for too long after killing vinagre

[Facundo Batista]

Hello!

I was using 'vinagre', had to kill it, and at that moment 'apport' started to consume 100% cpu.

I left it for more than 10 minutes, and it didn't finish.

For worse, I killed apport and other apport was instantiated :/

you can remove apport with

$ sudo apt-get remove apport

but you can not use "ubuntu-bug" command without apport.
