	Which means if realloc fails we ought to detect that, free (ptr) and
fall-back to some otherworldly case of handling OOM issues perfectly
everywhere.

	The patch just defeats cppcheck I think, rather than making this any
better. Can we turn off this warning ? :-) I'd love to search for any
'realloc moves memory' type mistakes, but in a world of VM over-commit,
it no longer makes sense to write apps that handle OOM for trivial cases
IMHO :-)

	Brilliant - committed,

	Thanks,

		Michael.
