        to be saved in.  These reports are left in the ipython user directory

Oops, $self.app_name crashed. We do our best to make it stable, but...

A crash report was automatically generated with the following information:

  - A copy of your input history during this session.
  - Data on your current $self.app_name configuration.

It was left in the file named:
\t'$self.crash_report_fname'
If you can email this file to the developers, the information in it will help
them in understanding and correcting the problem.

You can mail it to: $self.contact_name at $self.contact_email
with the subject '$self.app_name Crash Report'.

If you want to do it now, the following command will work (under Unix):
mail -s '$self.app_name Crash Report' $self.contact_email < $self.crash_report_fname

To ensure accurate tracking of this issue, please file a report about it at:
