Screenshot of the dereference of NULL pointer report

This screenshot of a dereference of NULL pointer report shows a false positive.

http://www.netsurf-browser.org/temp/content-llcache2.png

At [2] it takes the false branch, which should be impossible given the logic in
the assert() at line 1247, and the assumption of NULL at [1[a]].

I'm using the clang / scan-build in packaged Ubuntu 10.10.


Also, it would be helpful if, instead of saying "pointer value" in "[a]
Assuming pointer value is null", it actually gave the name of the pointer it
meant (user->prev).  It's a bit ambiguous at the moment as there are other
pointer values there.
