Title:
  webbrowser crash files destroyed somehow

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I setup ubuntu-emulator with a trusty image and was testing reporting
  of crashes.  I launched the webbrowser application and then used 'kill
  -11' and the process id of the webbrowser app to force it to crash.
  After apport finished running I discovered the crash file did not have
  a core dump.  I tried this again and watched the file size and
  observed the following:

  phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ ls -lh /var/crash/
  total 864K
  ---------- 1 phablet whoopsie 862K May  5 22:36 _usr_bin_webbrowser-app.32011.crash
  phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ ls -lh /var/crash/
  total 1.1M
  ---------- 1 phablet whoopsie 1.1M May  5 22:36 _usr_bin_webbrowser-app.32011.crash
    crash8                  ls -lh /var/crash/
  total 84K
  -rw-r----- 1 phablet whoopsie 81K May  5 22:36 _usr_bin_webbrowser-app.32011.crash
  phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ 

  Clearly something is wrong here. The file becoming smaller seemed to
  coincide with the window for the webbrowser finally closing, but I
  can't be positive of that.
