Yeah the problem is that the dump tool needs to allocate memory to
create the dump info but sometimes the system is in such a state that it
can't do it, so the tool obviously fails.

But for GPU lockup bugs with Intel graphics, all you really need to
collect is the output of 'dmesg' and your
/sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_error_state file.  Both of these must be
collected while the machine is locked up (e.g. by sshing into the sick
machine over ethernet), but that should work even if the dump tool is
failing.  See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze for
additional info.

If you do that, please file a NEW bug report for the freeze.  We'll
focus this bug report on the issue that apport-gpu-error-intel.py fails
under these conditions.  I need to rejigger the script to stop using the
dump tool and instead use the error file directly.
