I built bash using scan-build
(https://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/scan-build.html) and I noticed that
it was able to detect the null pointer dereference reported earlier by
Jaren (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2017-04/msg00100.html).
dualbus@debian:~/src/gnu/bash$ scan-build-3.9 make
scan-build: Using '/usr/lib/llvm-3.9/bin/clang' for static analysis

scan-build currently picks up 263 "bugs" from the devel branch. Maybe
there's value in reducing that number to 0. I think it could be useful
to uncover new bugs.
