What's __coverity_string_size_sink__?  It is likely responsible for this
in libcacard:

Unbounded source buffer (STRING_SIZE)
string_size: Passing string argv[argc - 2] of unknown size to g_strdup,
which expects a string of a particular size

I guess it's okay to mark this as intentional?

This should be g_malloc0 I think.
