Public bug reported:
Wishlist: When ubuntu-bug is asked to send a bug on PID, it should check
whether the PID shows symptoms of being in an infinite loop and if so,
include stack trace of the process to the bug report or ask the user
whether he would like to include details needed for retracing in the bug
report.
In many cases simply sending SEGV signal to the process does indeed
manage to generate retraceable coredumps when
/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern points to apport, but such SEGVs can be
masked for several reasons.
Bug 986774 is an example of a bug report which would benefit from having
this kind of feature in apport/ubuntu-bug - in that case pasuspender
seems to be masking the apport SEGV handling.
