I would like to revisit the issue that Chris Faylor raised in the
following post:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/newlib/2002/msg00101.html
I have stumbled over the same problem with realloc():
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2002-07/msg00124.html
My patch is a "superset" of Chris's and solves the overflow problem in
both malloc() and realloc(). Is this an acceptable solution? If so,
then I will gladly supply a ChangeLog entry. If not, what would be?
Thanks,
Jason
