This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.10.2-0ubuntu1
---------------
apport (2.10.2-0ubuntu1) saucy; urgency=low
* New upstream bug fix release:
- Resolve symlinks in file references in Python crash signatures.
(LP: #1179979)
- Fix endless loop of EOFErrors with broken core dumps. (LP: #1168849)
- report.py, add_gdb_info(): Fix crash if gdb did not determine an
assertion message. (LP: #1171484)
- apt/dpkg: Fix get_file_package()'s "release" field to actually mean
DistroRelease:, not a distro code name. This now requires a previous
call to install_packages() with a configdir, which needs to have a file
<configdir>/<release>/codename with the release's code name in it.
- sandboxutils.py: Call get_file_package() with the report's release, so
that we actually get files from the target release, not the host
release.
- test_hookutils.py: Don't assume that /etc/motd exists.
* Move to dh compat level 9.

Title:
crashes while reporting a Synaptics bug - fills up /tmp
Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
I have problems with Synpatic, which crashes often.
Then apport wants to file the bug and crashes also (apport-gtk).
This leads to a lot of apport files on /tmp --> finally my complete /
partition is full! with over 4 GB of apport-gtk files!
Got this many times, always the same procedure:
1. start Synaptics
2. try(!) mark unneeded config files from removed packages
2b. Synaptic crashes, open up the apport file
3. Apport crashes
4. Synaptics crashes again (window was not closed before)
5. Apport crashes
...
5b. Apport writes a lot of files in /tmp
...
6. systems hangs while /tmp (which is normally mounted on / directly)
partition is full!
