[Reportbug-maint] Bug#594177: Reopen: Bug#594177: reportbug crashes (with certain proxy environmental variables)

[A. Costa]

reopen   594177 !  
retitle  594177 Proxy error crashes 'reportbug', then 'reportbug' outputs a misleading error message.

thanks

For full explanation, please see my previous post:

(Jiffy summary: the crash happens when proxy server settings are a
certain way.  The actual bug is the uninformative error message.)

Which I mistakenly sent to the wrong address, and it didn't reopen.  Beg
pardon...
