Doesn't this change break the ABI?

Smells very much like the common "realloc memory leak on error" bug
(Usually cppcheck can spot this kind of bug). Not sure how long lived
that leak is, but fixing it might be faster than figuring it out.

Same, except ...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
No check for an error (inconsistent with the previous realloc of same field)

Please clarify the possible ABI breakage situation and resolve the above
issues.
