When I encounter a crash, I usually let it collect data and upload,
and then check out Launchpad's proposed list of existing bugs. For
crash bugs, the hit rate is usually close to perfect. For bug reports
less so, of course, since we can't have a standard title there. For
those it probably makes sense to look beforehand.
