Re: free after realloc

OK I deserve the tomatoes. Can I just say, I also have the same man
page (realloc() changes the size ... If the area pointed to was
moved, a free(ptr) is done.) I completely missed the point of the last
sentence.
Q about Lew's code:
x = malloc(100); x = realloc(x, 200);
if realloc fails, x will become NULL and that will leave a 100-byte
hole in the memory, will it not?
