        Actually, I have both version...But I think that the patch I sent should be
faster in terms of number of syscalls while the overhead of realloc in both
case should be more or less the same.

        Through I am not sure, the difference between two different ways should be
small and the speed overhead of this part is not so important to the overall
performance of libcurl. Do you think so?
