Hmm, that's interesting. If the exact image can really make a
difference, I think we could e.g. remember the images syzbot used for
the last 1-2 months and make them downloadable from the bug details
page. I'll check if there are any obstacles, at first sight this
should not be a problem.

Thanks for the suggestion!
