Haha, that comment sure motivated some people :)

Nevertheless read the following in the article about Coverity on
lwn.net:

  The projects with the lowest defect density include Ethereal, OpenVPN,
  Perl, and xmms; the all-time winner is xmms, with a total of six
  detected errors. At the other end of the scale, one finds Amanda,
  Firebird, NetSNMP, OpenLDAP, Samba, X, and Xine.
