coverity checks the development trunk (i.e. the current 2.5 pre-alpha),
so 2.4.3 isn't quite as good as this looks.  however, I don't think coverity
found any truly serious bug in the code base, so 2.4.3 should be almost
as good as the upcoming 2.5 release.

(and there was never 96 real errors in the code base, of course; coverity
is a remarkable tool, but there's plenty of room for mistakes when used on
a code base this large)
