Uhm, while I agree that many changes for change's sake are bad, this change seems reasonable to me. At least in principle (if on error we exit the program, maybe not). Whenever you realloc(), I've always found it safest to realloc to a temp variable, then if there's an error, you still have the original pointer. Note that server is declared static, so it will stick around, no? Thus if GCC is producing the same code, it's doing something wrong. Either it's storing when it shouldn't now, or before it wasn't storing when it should. Take care, Bill
