The malloc size warning is concerning, as the excessive “size” is (uint64_t)(-1). -Martin PS: since Bash is now targeting C99, the work-around (p?realloc(p,s):malloc(s)) should no longer be necessary; just use realloc(p,s). (ISO/IEC 9899:1999 §7.20.3.4 and ISO/IEC 9899:2024 §7.24.3.7 both say: “If ptr is a null pointer, the realloc function behaves like the malloc function for the specified size.”)
