Don't expect anything epic from this article. We have checked the Bitcoin project's source code with PVS-Studio and found just a couple of suspicious fragments. Which is no wonder: I guess there are few programmers who haven't checked it already. But since we have done our check too, we need to write a small post about it, pro forma, so to say.

Interesting!

One of the problems has been known for a while, see #4011.

I'll have a look at the others.
