Static source code analysis

Coverity and Klocwork has been running their static analysis tools on the latest Amanda source code and making the results available for the Amanda developers to analyse and fix the defects. Currently (July 7, 2006), we have zero defects found by these tools. We have thankful to these companies for making these tools available and in general, helping to improve quality of open source projects.
