Local fix

• The Crash Reporter traverses all files in the product install
  path, the "user.dir" path, and the "user.home" path looking for
  "javacore*.txt" files.
  
  The absolute path can be found by running a Java application
  with code like the following:
  
  System.out.println("user.home path: " +
  System.getProperty("user.home"));
  System.out.println("user.dir path: " +
  System.getProperty("user.dir"));
  
  It is possible that you experience this performance issue due to
  slow
  I/O devices, or a lot of files in the product install location,
  or in
  the 'user.home' or 'user.dir' path.
  
  Reducing the number of unnecessary files in these locations
  might reduce the time spent in this process.
