Consider Changing the Subject of Bug Reports (was Re: [BUG]UndefinedObject(Object)>>error:)

OOram has an extension to the Notifier that invites the user to send a bug 
report. This report consists of the user's comment, user identification, 
and a textual dump of the stack. The bug report is written to a file for 
later transfer to the OOram maintainer.  The maintainer has a program that 
recreates the stack in the maintainer's image so that he or she can 
investigate the reason for the error.

Probably out of scope for what is discussed here because it is a fairly 
large piece of SW. I have included two screenshots and the VW code here in 
case anybody should care to look at it. (It's not easy to port because it 
uses any number of  OOram library classes)

PS: Is 25 kB too much to put into an e-mail just for luck?
