The bogus bisection results is a known issue (which I'm trying to convince
Dmitry is important enough to fix...), which is why I manually reviewed all of
them and discarded out all the obviously incorrect ones.  My reminders only
include manually reviewed bisection results.  Obviously there will still be some
looked plausible but are actualy wrong, but I suspect the accuracy is around
80-90% rather than the 40-50% of the raw syzbot bisection results.
