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.
