scan-build results

[MikeSS8]

Building edbrowse (current tip of the master branch) using scan-build found 91 total bugs, 50 of which one might call "severe."

These bug reports are often spurious or describe things which can't occur in practice, but 50 of them is rather alarming. Especially for a program that's processing data from the internet.

Speaking for myself, I only just discovered edbrowse and haven't looked at the source. I like Ed, and using this sort of thing to wrangle the modern internet seems promising and worth fixing.
