POSIX says that this place is implementation defined and old variant allows

BTW, GNU sleep f.e. sleeps forever in blocked SIGALRM :-)

and forgot what I was trying to do originally and accidently zapped
a feature. :-] The problem is that we are converting a counted buffer in
a malloc pool into a null terminated C-style string. I was calling realloc
originally to shrink the buffer to the desired size. If realloc failed, we
still returned the valid buffer - the only thing wrong was it was a tad
too large. The previous commit disabled this.
This commit now handles the three cases..
1: the buffer is exactly right for the null byte to terminate the
string (we don't call realloc).
2: it's got h.left = 0, so we must expand it to make room. If realloc
fails here, it's fatal.
3: if there's too much room, we realloc to shrink it - a failed realloc
is not fatal, we use the original buffer which is still valid.

Only call malloc() if the fd is too big for the compiled in fd_set size,
and don't use calloc either. This should reduce the impact of conflicts
with private malloc implementations etc. When using the fd_set on the
stack, only zero what is needed rather than all 1024 bits like FD_ZERO did.

The logic in get_myaddress() is broken: it always returns the loopback
address due to the following rule:
if ((ifreq.ifr_flags & IFF_UP) &&
ifr->ifr_addr.sa_family == AF_INET &&
(loopback == 1 && (ifreq.ifr_flags & IFF_LOOPBACK))) {
The idea is that we want to select the interface address only if it's
up and it's in the AF_INET family. If it turns uout we don't have
such an interface available, we make a second pass through the loop,
this time settling for the loopback interface. But the logic inadvertently
locks out all cases when loopback == 0, so nothing is ever selected until
the second pass (when loopback == 1).
This is changed to:
if (((ifreq.ifr_flags & IFF_UP) &&
ifr->ifr_addr.sa_family == AF_INET) ||
(loopback == 1 && (ifreq.ifr_flags & IFF_LOOPBACK))) {
which I think does the right thing.
This is yet another bogon I discovered during NIS+ testing; I need
get_myaddress() to work correctly so that the callback code in the
client library will work.

inside libraries because it breaks its possible predictable sequence.
arc4random() is true random as designed, so its usage is library-safe.
