Hi,

I fixed the mysn bug on my branch:
* https://github.com/pointhi/kicad-source-mirror/tree/crash_report

Allowing people to enable/disable this feature sounds like a good idea.

I tried gcore on linux to create coredumps of an running process, but
because it needs root privileges it cannot simply be integrated into the
reporter (it would be possible with PolKit I think).

There also exists https://code.google.com/archive/p/google-coredumper
but it seems to be broken on newer linux systems (according to
stackoverflow)

Regards, Thomas
