Sounds like you're trying to solve the wrong problem.
If you provide more info about the crashing, you might be able to sort
that out, instead.

It's apparently only a partial report because it was unable to prepare
the environment properly, or something similar.
And this is just with gedit - at least once every 30 to 45 days of
uptime, my desktop crashes arbitrarily. I suspend it every night, but
sometimes it either doesn't resume properly or just crashes, although
it doesn't happen as frequently as it used to with these later 4.x
kernels.
It's also just not a wise idea to do work in an application without
any type of crash support.
