The internal Crash Reports are generated by a debugging tool called 
apport.  It seems to be enabled by default in 12.04.
You can disable it by doing the following:

*To disable Apport, you need to edit "/etc/default/apport" with a text 
editor such as Gedit (as root):*

|gksu gedit /etc/default/apport|

*and change "enabled" from "1" to "0", then save the file.*

You can always re-enable it later on if you want, by changing "enabled" 
from "0" back to "1", or you can enable Apport temporarily, using the 
following command:

|sudo service apport start force_start=1
