That's just a debug message, letting the developers know when the file
list had to be expanded, and whether it had to be moved (by realloc(3))
as a result -- because that case introduces the particular hazard that
some other code might have kept a pointer to the old array. So this
message would be useful if one were debugging a random crash, to know
whether it only happened when the file list grew to a certain size, or
when it was relocated during expansion.

It's not an error of any sort, and you're only seeing it because you've
enabled DEBUG_GTE. Is there some other problem that you're trying to debug?
