absolutely.  but a significant chunk of those bugs were in the "will leak
references or access null pointers under extreme low-memory conditions,
but it's not very likely that you get here if that's the case" category.

still bugs worth fixing, of course, but I'd be a lot more worried if Coverity
had dug up 96 "makes it easy to crash python, or to run user-provided
code" errors...

(also note that Coverity works on the C level only, so potential bugs
that involves *using* Python C API stuff in odd ways are not always
found)
