Calls to realloc-type functions in Wine...

Note that it's debatable what the best course of action here is.  It's
true that in case of failure, the original pointer should be freed.
But a fault might be acceptable too - if we're out of memory, what can
we possibly do to recover?  At least that's one line of reasoning.

The results you sent aren't very useful without more investigation.
This might be a useful janitorial project, and might be better tracked
on the wiki than on this list.
