In some UNIX manual (russian translation, BTW) I read, that relloc() can 
be used on free()'d pointers to avoid memory fragmentation. Is this 
really true? I always thought realloc() should be used only to resize an 
alocated block, not to re-allocate a freed one (though its name points to 
that). Anyone could get some advice?

P.S.: I know I should post this to comp.std.c newsgroup, but:

 [1] I've no access to newsgroups at all (any more)
 [2] DJGPP mailing list is a place where I really feel good! :)
