  NAME
  xrealloc () - get more memory or bust
  INDEX
  xrealloc () uses realloc ()
  SYNOPSIS
  char   *my_memory;

  my_memory = xrealloc (my_memory, 42);
  / * my_memory gets (perhaps new) address of 42 chars * /

  DESCRIPTION

  Use xrealloc () as an "error-free" realloc ().It does almost the same
  job.  When it cannot honour your request for memory it BOMBS your
  program with a "virtual memory exceeded" message.  Realloc() returns
  NULL and does not bomb your program.

  SEE ALSO
  realloc ()
