I'm not aware of anything significant coming out of the recent scans.
However we have made a number of fixes in the last few releases based
on cppcheck output and we made lots of fixes a few years ago based on
an earlier Coverity scan.

The Coverty scan data isn't public, but the cppcheck report is:
   http://code.mythtv.org/cppcheck/

As you can see most of the issues remaining are either false positives
or a code cleanliness issue not unambiguous bugs.

The current Coverty scan is reporting a few more errors, most of which
are in the Live555 library we plan to drop in the 0.27 release.
