Coverity has flagged a number of small issues that should be fixed to help in cleaning up the code - these here are primarily memory leaks or uninitialized variables.
In theory leaked memory is significant, but for short-lived processes it is minor. Similarly for unitinialized variables - some compilers will do the right thing and zero out the value allocated on the stack, but some won't. So it is better to be sure of the content that leave it open for possible misuse.
