Bug Description

I've been using apport-retrace with the -g argument to launch gdb and test some stuff and I realized my disk was getting full. Lo and behold:

[ 1:54PM 10208 ] [ bdmurray@impulse:/tmp ]
 $ ls -lh apport_core*

I'm guessing if you use apport-retrace with -g the core file gets left behind. It'd be nice if you didn't have manually clean up after apport.
