ubuntu-bug segfaults when trying to report a bug using the PID of the offending process

[Lee Revell]

Docs say ubuntu-bug $PID should work. Tried it:

[leer@leer-eng: ~]$ ubuntu-bug 1392
Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.

Popup window gave error that this process was owned by another user (it was, the gdm user) and to run it as root or that user. Tried as root:

[leer@leer-eng: ~]$ sudo ubuntu-bug 1392
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyUnable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyUnable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

And that's all she wrote. Need I say more?
