I fixed this by
	yum install bug-buddy.i586

Why did I have manually do this -- if this is needed, why didn't the
dependency checking give it to me?

Why is a 32-bit version needed when I'm using 64-bit FireFox?  Must be
some plugin that needs it, I guess.

Installing this dragged in a whole load of 32-bit packages as
dependencies.

Before this, crashes have not caused the Mozilla crash reporter
	http://kb.mozillazine.org/Breakpad
to fire up.  I wonder if now they will.
