Bug Description
apport 2.5.2-0ubuntu4, Ubuntu Q
1. Feed a large crash report to Apport, e.g. by putting the attached 15 MB file into /var/crash/.
What happens: Apport pegs the CPU for several minutes, regardless of what else you're doing.
What should happen, perhaps: There's a limit to how much CPU Apport can use.
This bug report might be Invalid if it is straying into scheduler territory.
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
