Crash reports from beta 38 are useless. We are at beta 39 now.

Anyway, you probably have a full dump. You should always chose the 
minidump option. Only generate a full dump if you are expresly asked for 
that.

Once you have the dump, compress it as a zip or 7z file with maximum 
compression. Usualy, the dumps can be compressed a LOT! Your 134MB can 
realisticaly compress to somewhat under 1MB... or maybe even smaller. 
I've seen compression ratio in the 99.8% range.
