Subject: Any fix or workaround for this Turbo C realloc bug?

When I compile and run this program using Turbo C:

	#include "stdio.h"

	main()
	{
		char *		line;
		extern char *	malloc();
		extern char *	realloc();

		line = malloc(1);
		line[0] = '1';
		printf("%c (%d)\n", line[0], line[0]);
		line = realloc(line, 2);
		printf("%c (%d)\n", line[0], line[0]);
		return 1;
	}

I discover that line[0] has changed from under my feet as a result of the
realloc call.  If you have a fix or workaround, I'd appreciate hearing from
you.
