The FreeBSD Foundation has negotiated a license to use the Coverity Prevent 
software as part of the FreeBSD.org cluster, so we have our own Prevent 
install.  We do nightly runs on two branches and at least five hardware 
architectures, providing all FreeBSD developers with accounts on the Coverity 
bug database.  This allows tracking long-term bug trends, immediate feedback 
on newly introduced bugs, etc.  I'll actually be visiting Coverity on 
Wednesday to talk about expanding our use of their software.  There's news 
blurb about the Coverity license on the FreeBSD Foundation web page, and we'll 
be cutting a press release in the near future (we have a draft, but it seems 
to have stalled, so hopefully my Coverity visit will kick it off again).
