Public bug reported:
My edgy machine was swapping, a lot, because I was running a memory-
hungry python script.
Working in a terminal, I accidentally hit F1 as I was trying to kill the
script on a very slow-responding system. The system tried to run the
gnome help application. It didn't run properly, maybe because of the
lack of memory. But, the issue was made worse because bug-buddy
insisted on hooking gdb into the process thus keeping both it and bug-
buddy around.
So, I'd like to suggest that there is no point in bug-buddy running when
an application has failed due to lack of memory, and that bug-buddy
should take a look to see if the system is swapping a lot before
deciding if it should actually run.
** Affects: bug-buddy (Ubuntu)
