Count me in. I am waiting to find out how well Coverity works.

I have started trying "Clang Static Analyzer" against magnum-jumbo. To
use it do the following steps,

0. Install "Clang Static Analyzer"

1. Apply attached patch to Makefile. Do "make clean"

2. Run "scan-build make linux-x86-64-clang-debug"

3. Finally run, "scan-view /tmp/XXXX" to view the bugs.

The output looks great. I am in process of fixing the bugs it has found.
