I got coverity working for me again, version 2026.3.0. This pointed out a potentially fairly nasty socket leak in tcp_listen_handler(). Here's a series that fixes it.

As we discussed in the call on Monday, Jon was going to look into those.

Oops, sorry, I forgot.

Cc'ing him for awareness, as maybe he doesn't need to look into those anymore (but I'm not sure if you already tried passing the '--security' switch).

Well, not this specific warning and the one I fixed by accident in the "More caution with NONBLOCK" series". There are a bunch more. I think they're mostly false positives, but how to evade them is not very obvious. -- David Gibson (he or they) | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you, not the other way | around. http://www.ozlabs.org/~dgibson
