Ok, thanks for the update, Paolo and Alessandro!

To recap what I mentioned above, in many cases the crash dialog will appear even though Software Center itself has not "crashed" (in the sense of disappearing, freezing, etc.). Rather, it simply indicates that an internal error has been detected in the program that the developers need to know about, and the crash (apport) dialog is the means that allows us to gather the necessary info to diagnose and fix the problem. So, it is not a bug that the program doesn't crash, really. :) The real bug is whatever error condition occurred that caused the crash dialog to be displayed, and that will be tracked in its own bug when the crash info is uploaded via the dialog.

Thanks again for your help!
