I was testing an approach that involved updating apport to access any files under /proc/pid using a file descriptor, which would prevent reading from recycled pid (ie. after the directory was gone any access would fail), but that got a bit messy: doing it that way required changes to the Report class and that class is also used by other tools, so I was having to update too many files. Although it is a sane thing to do, this would required a bit more design and work to be done properly.

For now I believe Kevin's fix is the better way to address this issue.
