/var/crash has the following contents:

-rw-r----- 1 vorlon   vorlon   107490 May 23 16:05 _usr_bin_gourmand.1000.crash

-rw------- 1 whoopsie whoopsie      5 May 23 13:59 _usr_bin_python-argcomplete-check-easy-install-script.1000.uploaded

As seen, the .upload / .uploaded files were created within 2 minutes of
each of the crashes.

But after submitting the crash report for /usr/bin/python-argcomplete-
check-easy-install-script, I left my desktop for a while.  I came back
to find at least TWENTY dialogs prompting me to submit the same crash
report.

The only way to stop the system from creating more prompts is to remove
these files from disk.
