* bin/apport: Limit core dump size to 75% of usable RAM
(MemFree+Cached-Writeback). This should avoid trashing people's boxes hard
on huge core dumps. Bump dependencies on python-problem-report. Create an
expensive, but realistic check for this in test-apport.
(LP: #71560)
----
75%, what is this number based on? On a machine with a little amount of free
memory this might still cause the problems. 75% of 2Mb is still a disaster.
I would understand something like (Free Ram- XXMb). And if it would be a
negative result, don't dump.
The 75% fix will work for most, but not for some... Sounds like a nasty
fix to me.
