Not quite. calloc() gets the size of the object being cleared in
addition to the number of objects, while memset() gets only the size in
bytes. You need to multiply cmax by sizeof(*slines), as you did for the
realloc() call. (Of course, "slines + cmax" on the same line of code is
pointer arithmetic, so it automatically performs this multiplication. C
does have its warts.)
