These are false alarms. Compiling with -Dlint should pacify Coverity (at least,
-Dlint pacifies GCC, which has similar false alarms here).

That one is minor. I expect I just now fixed it in the experimental version, here:
https://github.com/eggert/tz/commit/39fd078a694fa762de5ae7efceca1dbfb7be94b3
as a side effect of some other porting efforts. Something like this should
appear in the next official release of zic.c.
