A lot of software writes output to syslog these days. It would be very useful if abrt crash reports would include that data. I think it should be feasible to grep /var/log/messages for all messages generated by the PID of the crashed program. I.e. if a process with pid 4711 crashes, then grep for \[4711\]: in /var/log/messages and attach that to the report. Of course, not all apps log to syslog, and not all apps log with their PID. But for those which do this information could prove immensly useful. And if maintainers want syslog output in their abrt crash logs they should simply enable PID logging.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
