Where did the CrashReporter logs go?

I think you're right - I think perhaps there's just been no crash reporter 
invoked (since the errors invariably happen at 3am, with a gorilla loose 
hammering the mouse, the fact that I haven't seen a crash report dialog didn't 
seem necessarily significant.)  I've made my report with the little data that 
there is in the console.   (#7409 if anyone's interested.)

Does anyone have a good simple recipe for a crash that does invoke the Crash 
Reporter?  I'd quite like to build a 'crash now' button into the standalone so 
that I can just confirm that I then get the normal Crash Reporter log, so that 
I can stop worrying about it.

Thanks to everyone who weighed in (and TIA to anyone suggesting the script of 
the 'crash now' button),
