Public bug reported: So far the only symptom I know of is the dump. For that reason I can not tie it to any previous bug reports.
I issued the commands requested below and there was no output in the terminal window. Was there no output?? Is the output somewhere else?? Your instructions are frustrating. How am I supposed to know what source package I found the bug in?? The only symptom was the dump and that certainly should tell you where it was from. This is my first attempt at using Linux. I hope that this experience isn't typical because this sample-of-one sure makes the Ubuntu community seem like a closed club.
