Title:
  repeatedly offers to report the same crash after being cancelled

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After cancelling a "System program problem detected" alert, it
  reappears the next time the system is started, though /var/crash lists
  no new crashes.  Emptying /var/crash stops this happening.

  Apart from being annoying, this gives the false impression that new
  crashes are occurring.
