This allows us to get accurate statistics of crashing applications

trade-off between getting accurate statistics and quality of the

why they can't contain full backtrace with data.
Well, it's nice to know when things crash, sure... but without more
information it's very difficult to figure out how to fix that crash.
Well, here's an example why I think such information is highly useful:
currently on my system every program using 3D (openGL/Mesa) crashes;
that means everything: Blender, Avogadro, pymol, FreeCAD, openSCAD, and
even everything that uses FLTK library because it renders both 2D and 3D
through OpenGL:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
intel_miptree_unmap (intel=0x18d1960, mt=0x0, level=0, slice=0) at
intel_mipmap_tree.c:1752
1752 if (mt->num_samples <= 1)
It's an Intel driver bug that seems pretty severe to me but I don't have
the graphics chops to fix it:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=922224
I think it would help things if there were reliable statistics on its
footprint. Is it just my Q45 or all Intel chipsets? is it just my weird
configuration (two screens? update rather than fresh install? some
configuration I did and forgot about?).
