Neither eagle eye nor a fancy new tool.
The initial one  was found (in mc_main.c) due to the stack being thrashed
when adding -v clo when developping patch for 282230.

Then the two others were found using 'grep percentify' and examining
the calls and their args.
(based on the equivalence principle: 
   "bugs are like mushrooms. If you find one, there are very probably others in the same area"
)
