The following bug has been logged online:
Bug reference: 2445
Logged by:
Email address: friedrich_sperling(at)web(dot)de
PostgreSQL version: 8.1.3
Operating system: Debien GNU/Linux Etch
Description: incompatibility: realloc <> repalloc
Details:
it seems that there is a little difference in the handeling of standard
library's realloc and the postgresql repalloc functions, which might be
inconvenient.
if the realloc funtion receives a NULL pointer as first argument, it works
just like the malloc function,
whereas the repalloc function crashes the server.

It's intentional, however.
