Eric Rahm looks at them regularly. He's on PTO until next week. From
what he's told me the false positive rate is quite high, and the true
positives are mostly small things like leaks on error paths, but
occasionally it finds something significant. He's been looking at them
for some time which suggests he thinks it's worth the effort.
