The first patch looks reasonable but I object to the second.  Coverity
is not going to dictate coding conventions to us --- it is not *nearly*
bright enough for that.  In this case, the code is locally allowing for
the possibility that AH->currSchema was NULL, and I don't consider it
good style to remove that allowance.  (I take it BTW that this allegedly
bulletproof tool fails to consider the possibility that strdup fails
and returns NULL ...)
