Bug Description

The retracer.py code in daisy checks a core file for validity before setting up a sandbox and retracing the crash but it seems that the check could be improved.

This could be moved to submit-core.py although then the daisy frontends would need to have gdb installed.

Apport should already be checking the core file during report creation but this should be confirmed. If it isn't happening in apport then it should.
