apport stops responding and freezes forever

[Teo]

Sometimes, when I use the command "ubuntu-bug" and my internet connection is bad (meaning it's slow and drops often), it happens that the Apport window showing the pseudo-progress bar stops responding, it greys out (like any window in Unity greys out when it stops responding), the Cancel button does nothing, and the window stays there greyed out forever. The only way to make it disappear is to kill the process

The obvious expected behavior is:
- if it is still sending data very slowly or waiting for a response from the server and you hit Cancel, it should quit immediately
- if an error occurs while connecting to the server or the operation times out, it should show an error message and close.
