Tor, do you happen to know on what platforms or architectures
realloc(NULL) causes issues? ISO mandates that it should be
functionally equivalent to malloc() and I use it like that in my own
code. It's never blown up so far but if there are portability issues,
I'd like to be one step ahead of them.
