According to Sebastian we often get crash reports for packages which just have been upgraded, but the old version of the executable is still running. (e. g. bug 983697). Apport already prevents filing a report when the executable changed between the time the crash happens and the time the user reports the bug, but this is not sufficient here: In that example, evince crashed right _after_ installing the new version (the running process got confused about the new data on disk presumably), so that check doesn't help.

We need to check if the binary was modified after the process started.
