--include points to a filename including the trace. You have also a
--kill <pid> command (not working yet) to get your application killed
by bug-buddy after the bug report.

I guess that getting a trace in python on mono is not as expensive as
the gdb thing, so there would not be a big delay after the crash and
the bug-buddy interface coming up. But if we have a big delay we could
use instead a named pipe to feed the trace over it, so the bindings
can call bug-buddy inmidiately and then getting/feeding the trace
while bug-buddy shows the progress bar.
