Please let the X Strike Force determine what parts of the log are and
are not relevant.  Quote the whole thing; you won't get in trouble for
it.

Sending the exact same log file to a bug report multiple times, however,
is discouraged.

You sure it was a SEGV?  This would indicate a bug -- probably an
important one -- in the Python interpreter, which does all memory
management.  If what you saw was an exception with a backtrace, that's
something else.

Consider upgrading to the latest reportbug and trying to reproduce the
problem.  There was a problem with attachment handling that I found and
reported, but which is fixed in reportbug 2.3.
