Coverity Static Analysis helps developers find hard-to-spot, yet potentially crash-causing defects early in the development phase, reducing the cost,time, and risk of software errors.

This patch has a fix for conditions where 1) variable is used evern after getting freed thus causing junk assignment and 2) double free of memory.
