This seems fine and I'd agree with a low priority here.  You might also
look at http://launchpad.net/bugs/581959 as it is an apport-package bug
report with the same exit status.

I'd modify the title of this bug report to be very specific as it is
likely to draw comments about the same symptom with different root
causes.  Additionally, someone may end up reopening it after it is fixed
when they see a memory leak in qemu-kvm.  I really appreciate the
verbosity of your comments in this bug report and documenting tests.

I'd disagree with the priority for this particular bug as getting people
to test Ubuntu, which testdrive is one way to do, is very important
additionally system lock ups like this should be a high priority.  I
wonder if this is a problem on real hardware.

This seems fine.

Your work here looks good.  Due to the large volume of bug reports about
Ubuntu I recommend setting the importance of a bug report as soon as
possible, even if you have not been able to recreate it, so that you
have another mechanism for sorting bug reports.  It is quite easy to
downgrade the importance later.

Based on the quality of your work I am happy to approve your membership
in the Ubuntu Bug Control team.
