* src/locking/lock_driver_sanlock.c: in fact, virStrcpy calls
   virStrncpy(dest, src, strlen(src), destbytes) then return result,
   if 'path' is NULL, it means 'src' is also NULL, strlen(NULL) will
   dereference a NULL pointer, which probably causes a segmentation fault.

NACK. The prior virAsprintf guarantees that path is non-NULL at this point. Rather, the real problem that Coverity is complaining about here is that the only way to get to the error_unlink: label is if path is already non-NULL, so that the 'if (path)' in that label is redundant.
