After a short discussion in #ubuntu-devel, this was the consensus:
- apport caps the core dump size to the available free memory; if it's bigger,
remove the core dump and instead set a field which describes the reason
(CoreDumpTooBig: <memory size>)
- UI checks for this field and informs the user about the crash, but does not
file the bug
** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => In Progress
Target: None => ubuntu-7.04
