Ah, but here's the tricky bit.	by LionsPhil	2004-02-10 16:32:46
I'm using realloc() as malloc() as well, as it says you can. So there may or may not have been a previous successful allocation. It's clear enough from that that I need to free() after a failed realloc() of previously allocated memory, but what about if realloc() was called with a null pointer, making it behave like malloc()?
