Oh. I guess I read the man page wrong:
The realloc() function changes the size of the block of memory pointed to
by the pointer parameter to the number of bytes specified by the size
parameter, and returns a pointer to the block. The contents of the block
^^^
remain unchanged up to the lesser of the old and new sizes, and the con-
tents of any memory added beyond the limit of the old size is undefined.
Admittedly, that was from a certain Unix-box manufacturer. Thanks to your hint,
I checked the cygwin man page, and it was much clearer!
