Okey Dokey. With that being the case, it appears we should rethink
string_grow/string_make. If we get a length of 0, we should allocate 1 byte
and store '\0' in it (really storing '\0' is not necessary, but it is always
nice to initialize). We can still keep the length as being 0, but this way
it will be portable.
Does this sound ok?

I can tell without Purify that malloc(0) is unportable.
(As is calling it without <stdlib.h> inclusion, but I'm being mean :-)
