It's been a while since I've looked at those stats. The last time I
did, there was something wrong with the scanner which made it only
check a small subset of the code. Contacting Coverity didn't get me
very far in solving the problem. :/

Trying just now, I can't even log into the system: the login link is
broken for the Subversion project. I've emailed the admins, and
hopefully it'll get fixed. Thanks for the reminder.
