[Bug 2101906] [NEW] Apport apparently hung while gathering information for another crash. CPU time was logged at around 20hrs+ when I found out.

[TGP1994]

Public bug reported:

This machine has been generating a lot of crashes (sorry for all of the
uploads...) including apport its self, but hopefully the information
collected here is able to narrow down what's going on.

Expected to happen: apport does its work in a timely manner then exits.

What appeared to happen: apport had hung/entered a loop which at the
time I found it, with above twenty hours of CPU time. Unfortunately I
can't offer any other information about the circumstances or why apport
had entered this state besides what was captured by apport on its self.
