As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Lorraine has since answered, and her answer rules out the possibility I
was thinking of. To wit, if wa retained its value from one call to the
next but arrayPtr was procedure-local, then the procedure could try to
realloc without having done the alloc.
...but she ran the code in debug and arrayPtr had the same value at the
time of the %realloc that it had at the time of the %alloc. That being
the case, the value of arrayPtr couldn't have been lost when the
procedure ended (if the value was lost, it would show *NULL in the debug)
The 'wa' variable is only used at the moment the %alloc() or %realloc()
is called, it doesn't matter what it's value is at other times. If it
lost it's value, you might end up calling %realloc() with the wrong
size, which is a bad thing, but would be perfectly legal from the
operating system's perspective, so it wouldn't generate an error.
