It does indeed look like some code that (indirectly) uses the
safe_realloc_*() functions relies on the pointer not being freed. The
reallocation errors are not handled and propagated back, so the
pointers that would be freed might be dereferenced again.

Please ignore the patches I sent. The callers need to be fixed too.
This will require a careful review of a lot of code.
