As long as it's GnuCash.app from our download sites I already know what are the 
binary images. The only system information that's useful is the MacOS version, 
and that's up top.

Crashes are bugs and it's a lot easier to track them--including reporting on 
them in release notes--if they're in bugzilla. Once can either paste the useful 
part of the crash report into the bug description (that actually helps bugzilla 
detect duplicates, it knows how to compare stack traces), but that requires 
some knowledge on the user's part to understand what's the useful part. I 
usually tell users to go to Console, find the crash report, control-click on it 
and select "show in Finder". That makes it easy for them to navigate to it from 
bugzilla's "choose file" button.
