+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.
