Wow!  That's better than I had hoped for.  I'll note one subtlety:  the call
to realloc() probably endures mutex locking overhead to keep it threadsafe,
even if the realloc() is (in the end) a nop.  It certainly does under
Microsoft's realloc(), but the native locking gimmicks on Windows are very
fast (Windows loves threads).
