--- Comment #15 from Scott Long <scottl at FreeBSD.org> ---
The clang static analyzer wasn't wrong.  It's possible to leak the scan_info
object if the conditions for the 'for' loop prevent the loop from being
entered.  It's not a normal occurrence in real life, but it's not impossible
either.  What needs to happen is that the loop increment a reference counter on
scan_info, and if at the exit of the loop the refcount is 0, then free
scan_info.  It's not a bug in clang, and it's probably not in Coverity either,
but I haven't looked at the output from that.  Please don't file it as a bug
with those projects.
