help -> report a problem doesn't work on Maverick

[Pedro Villavicencio]

Binary package hint: launchpad-integration

The menu on Maverick is not working, tried gcalctool to report a problem and I've got:

Noticed that /proc/pid/exe , /proc/pid/cwd and /proc/pid/root are not longer accessible for the user they can only be seeing by root. Linux issue perhaps?

[Kees Cook (kees)]

This is due to over-zealous PTRACE restrictions that went into the most recent kernel package. I will dial this back a bit.
