There may be multiple stateful snippet instances for a given stateful
snippet within the system.  Figuring out which is which is a non-trivial
task for your image serving URL.

If you really, really don't like the SessionVar idea, you can bind a
function to your /image request and that function can deposit a reference to
the current stateful snippet into a RequestVar that can be accessed during
the image serving process.  If you like that answer better, give me a few
days to whip up an example.
