The "newly allocated" portion refers to the part that lies beyond the
end of the first memory block. If the original block size is 10 bytes
and the new one is 20, then the first 10 bytes of the new block (the lesser
of 10 and 20) will be the same as the old one, and bytes 11-20 (the newly
allocated portion) are undefined.
