I had an X wedge on resuming my laptop the other day and after SSHing in
I found this in dmesg:

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/31253955/kernel.txt

(attached to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/423362)

Is that the thing you're referring to? Having that kernel event trigger
an automatic dump into /var/crash seems like it would be a massive win
(cf my essentially useless bug report in the above case)

Cheers,
