The way I understand it... if you call %realloc() the system will try
to extend your existing allocation if it can. I think, in most cases,
it will...

There's a gotcha though. If the allocated storage contains pointers,
they may no longer be valid after running realloc. Linked lists don't
like that very much. However, it's easily fixed, because with a linked
list, you can just allocate another chunk. That's completely transparent
when traversing the list.
