Gag! I wrote:

	#define realloc(x) (free(x),malloc(x))

what I meant to write:

	#define realloc(x,s) (free(x),malloc(x,s))

This definition requires an ANSI compliant compiler.  The comma 
operator (",") always returns its second argument as its value.
Other than that this is good ANSI C, this is completely untested
on Rev 5.0 of the Manx compiler.
