Oops, {app_name} crashed. We do our best to make it stable, but...

A crash report was automatically generated with the following information:
  - A verbatim copy of the crash traceback.
  - A copy of your input history during this session.
  - Data on your current {app_name} configuration.

It was left in the file named:
\t'{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: {contact_name} at {contact_email}
with the subject '{app_name} Crash Report'.

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

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