In that case you don't need those macros.  They're mainly useful for
programs that want malloc(0) to return a nonnull pointer.
Another reason to use at least AC_FUNC_REALLOC (and one that motivated
me to write the macros and replacement functions) is that on some systems,
realloc (p, n) fails when P is NULL.
Right - guess I'm back off experimenting, then.

Would you happen to know of any (common) systems for which this is a problem? (just so I can get an idea of what kind of priority I should give this - I've been having a bit of trouble using the replacement realloc in a C++ program)

Win32 systems, both realloc and free.
