I am currently on patching, since I have got two patches now and I am on
my third buildd run (just building on my cow-power-notebook atm) I may

IMHO at the above code it is a false-positive, but in general the
warning/fatal is right, so that programmers use such functions in an
secure manner from the beginning, like using prepared SQL statements
also if there query is static..
But this is too much for this thread ;-)
