Your expectation is not correct for Darwin's memory allocation scheme.

I don't see the point of lying awake at night worrying about potential

that we *could* speed up if there was a need; since every

Ya, I understood that. My conclusion was that Darwin's realloc()
implementation isn't production-quality. So it goes.

Well, it means what it said. The C standard says nothing about

it wasn't enough to merge the code back into 2.4, alas.
It would be a real shame if this code was abandoned. If we're going to
