Maybe you could create a test program along the lines of

int main()
{
  char *new_rb = NULL;
  char *in_buffer = NULL;

  new_rb = malloc(20);
  in_buffer = new_rb;
  in_buffer = realloc(in_buffer, 122);
  in_buffer = realloc(in_buffer, 488);

  free(in_buffer);

  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

and see if MemScope detects any problems?
