I agree completely: As I've going through the process of digging thru
the details trying to understand the "crash" reports, I've been making
up a list of infomation which would be useful to include in the Bug
report to make diagnosis easier.

I'll post the list in a bit (once I've completed the process of going
thru these crash reports).


Some additional information which would be useful in the crash report
bugs submitted by the Buildbots:

1. (As fron Evan above): Buildbot info and/or a link to the buildbot
    (and maybe a link directly to the build which had a failed step).

2. The name of the input file from which the fuzz'd file was derived.

3. In at least some cases, the "version" of the source used for the
    build is reported as a GIT identifier. Is there a way to also show
    (a translation to) an SVN number ?

Not knowing the process by which the bug reports are generated, I've no
idea if any or all of the above can be reasonably easily done.

I managed to get Buildbot to pass a number of build properties to the
fuzz and randpkt build steps, e.g.

   BUILDBOT_BUILDERNAME=Clang-Code-Analysis
   BUILDBOT_BUILDNUMBER=1657
   BUILDBOT_GOT_REVISION=0f3f4eb79ad8cb6954af399ad33b30883ecadf22
   BUILDBOT_REPOSITORY=http://code.wireshark.org/git/wireshark
   BUILDBOT_SLAVENAME=clang-code-analysis
   BUILDBOT_URL=http://buildbot.wireshark.org/trunk/

I also updated fuzz-test.sh and randpkt-test.sh in /trunk to prepend
host, input file, and BUILDBOT_* environment information to the error
report.


Great !

Thanks

Properties exist for every element in build URLs except for the step
name so constructing those will take more work.
