Coverity static code analysis and gdb

Hi all,

I saw a presentation of Coverity's static code analysis
tools last
week, and they happened to mention that they have set up a
free scan
of open source projects (see http://scan.coverity.com
), and that gdb
is included.  I asked for and received access.

Their scan found about 250 possible bugs such as reference
thru
potentially-null pointers and allocations without frees.

I expect to be submitting patches for some.  Just a
heads-up...

Yay!

I registered for access too (they announced it on the list
quite a
while ago), but never managed to fix any of them.  It's been
creeping
back up my task list lately.
