Package: libc6
Version: 2.1.3-10
Severity: wishlist

When dealing with very large strings, it is preferable to use realloc rather
than malloc+copy+free every time, especially on Linux where realloc
eventually becomes mremap(2).

Unfortunately this requires changing the interface of obstack, but IMHO
it needs to be done.
