Thomas,

I looked at your branch and it look like you haven't made your debug
report code a build option yet.  This will definitely have to be done in
order to merger this because we cannot guarantee full core dump reports
so packagers will have to be able to build without the reporting in some
cases.  I know it's less than ideal but unless you can ensure that a
full crash dump can be included as part of the report, I see what other
choice there is.

Cheers,

Wayne
