While 'rand is a poor random generator' and 'Dead assignment' are
questionable, at least some of the NULL pointer accesses seem real.

It might be interesting to have this on tinderbox, however, there should
be a possibility to mark false positives (like the use of rand() in not
security critical code). Any ideas?

Thanks for the test
