Realloc() problem with Efence

[Nicholas T Ingolia]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hello...

realloc() may move the memory being realloated.  To quote from the man page,

       realloc() returns a pointer to the newly allocated memory,
       which is suitably aligned for any kind of variable and may
       be  different from ptr...

It doesn't (and couldn't) mutate the pointer temp_c_buf directly.

Thus, you probably want to re-write your code to do

temp_c_buf = realloc(temp_c_buf, 5000 + 5000);
