Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apport
following a synaptic segmentation fault, my ubuntu/edgy was going insane (mouse
was kinda frozen, nothing was responding...). I managed to switch to some
console. 'top' command indicated that there was loads of 'apport' running,
eating all the ressources. (console mode was very very slow). Then from now, i
can't do anything, even if i reboot cause it gets kinda frozen very fast.
I checked some /var/log files, i found this one, which can help, i hope.

following those, i have more than **5000** of lines similar to this one.
Each time i want to boot, this file is getting filled very fast, while
the system is very slow (i can't use x and console mode is very very
slow...)
