Title:
  StacktraceAddressSignature is missing on many ARM reports

Status in Apport:
  Fix Released
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apport source package in Precise:
  Won't Fix
Status in apport source package in Quantal:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  None of the armhf test crashes built in
  https://code.launchpad.net/~daisy-pluckers/+archive/daisy-seeds have a
  StacktraceAddressSignature. For precise and quantal an important fix
  was fixed in Raring and currently being SRUed to precise and quantal
  in bug 1084996, but that doesn't seem to be enough for armhf.

  This is because Apport currently makes the assumption that the last
  field (the file path) is separated from the other fields by at least
  four spaces, which is the case on x86 (where there are some 15
  spaces). However, on armhf there are only three, so the parser did not
  recognize these lines.

  FIX: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~apport-
  hackers/apport/trunk/revision/2563 (which just reduces the number of
  expected spaces from 4 to 2, and adds a test case from a real-life ARM
  crash)

  SRU TEST CASE:
  Above patch includes a test case, but a manual one is:
  - Generate a crash on an armhf machine, with e. g.: dash -c 'kill -SEGV $$'
  - Let Apport pop up and display the details
  - With the current Apport version, it most probably does not have a StacktraceAddressSignature field; with the -proposed package it should have one.
