The code base I am usually working with is not intended for the internet.

So what I do when I get a dump like this in the closed code-base is:
Copy  all required files in one folder then i put 60 minutes or so to 
reduce the code to a bare minimum that reproduces the problem, that way 
i could rewrite the offending code by hand on a computer with internet 
access and publish the problem.

And when working on code intended for the internet i got no problems 
what so ever to send the complete set of files (however, some small 
effort usually reduces the amount quite a bit) and i find it decent to 
do that initial work before i send a report.

And in my opinion to report problems on "open software" with good 
quality reports is for certain within the price-range of a hobbyist and 
everyone benefits from it.
