---

The crash happened when a new application or system crash report window from update-notifier showed up.

Reproducer:
1. sleep 1000 on one terminal
2. kill -SIGSEGV $(pidof sleep)
-> wait for update-notifier to try showing up apport (application crash) or update-notifier (system crash) windows. This can take up to 180s.

Hmm, Seb mentioned this yesterday. But I think this is the first bug report.
