Subject: Malloc and realloc pains...

Just so everyone's aware.  There are quirks in which different libraries
treat malloc and realloc routines.

Borland returns a NULL pointer on a malloc( (size_t)(0) );
Microsoft does not deallocate the passed memory block on a failed realloc.

Perhaps someone can come up with a way to neatly fix the problem?
