This page may look completely strange. You will see it if you have selected "Attach to a crashed application" or "Read from a core file" in the previous page. When the application crashed, a copy of all the details of what the program was doing was frozen. This was either dumped to the core file or held in place. What bug-buddy is doing is to go through all that information and find out what steps the program took to get to the stage where it crashed. Programmers can follow the rather cryptic output and work out where something started to go wrong. This output will be automatically attached to your bug report.
Sometimes bug-buddy will not be able to generate the information and tell you that it cannot recognise the core file. If so, simply continue to the next stage. Do not send the core file itself as an alternative. It is only the output that bug-buddy wants.
