I do. The leaks in rearrange_squash() seem to be false positives (I will
have to have another look later, I spent way too many hours pouring over
those Coverity reports this week).
The leaks in skip_unnecessary_picks() are real, though, and I have a patch
to fix them this way:
-- snip --
Subject: [PATCH] sequencer: plug resource leak when skipping unnecessary picks
The resource leak only happens in case of an error writing or truncating
the file, therefore it seems less critical, but we should still fix it
nonetheless.
Discovered by Coverity.

Indeed.

I guess Coverity follows that code path and determines that it is handled.
If only it would also follow the code paths of the FLEX_ARRAYs and figure
out that we play games with struct definitions whose last entries are
technically incorrect.

Ah, you're right. I'll have to rework that patch I mentioned above.

Right.
