[Baesken, Matthias]

Hi  David ,   sure I can  guard this by  "ExtensiveErrorReports" .

It  gives a more complete picture where you run , helps to improve the error analysis .
( like - involve  the  Cloud escalation team  because ...  )

Some people might not want the  number of cores in hs_err, some might not want to OS version  , 
some people might  not want something else in hs_err .
That's always hard to say , but I think  the Cloud info is on the same technical level  than what we  currently  already have in the  hs_err  so
 Nothing special .


Best regards, Matthias
