That is, the alleged defect that Coverity found is not really a defect.

Basically, we're trading resources. The Coverity tool has discovered
some problem spots in our source code, but there's plenty of false
positives. So in return for the true positives, we supply Coverity
with our man-hours to find the false positives --- essentially
debugging the Coverity tool itself.
Not to mention the $297,000 payment to Coverty out of the total $1.24 million grant from DHS. Still, I think money can be spend *much* worse than that.
