I have the opposite problem with calibre. ;) 

it crashes every time on quit. ;) 

The problem is entirely cosmetic. No data is harmed, the program exits
after that, it's just a child thread and the main process don't
communicate the exit quite right. So, pretty much everyone who uses
calibre sees this. 

I haven't been able to fix it (any help welcome), so in this case I
might want to disable abrt reports for now until it's fixed, but enable
them again once it is. If there was some easy way for me to do this
without requiring a new abrt package be pushed out that would be
great. ;)
