Technically realloc should handle this:
" However, unlike that *realloc*() call, *reallocarray*() fails safely in
the case where the multiplication would overflow. If such an over‐
flow occurs, *reallocarray*() returns NULL, sets *errno
<http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/errno.3.html>* to *ENOMEM*, and
leaves the original block of memory unchanged."
