Michael Kerrisk 28d88c1751 Global change to many pages... 
Various pages use inconsistent terms for 'null byte' (which
is the C99/SUSv3 term for the '\0' character).
To rectify this the following changes were made in these pages:

Replace 'zero byte' with 'null byte'.
Replace 'null character' with 'null byte'.
Replace 'nulls' with 'null bytes'.
Replace 'NUL-terminated' by 'null-terminated'.
Replace 'NUL' by 'null byte'.
Replace 'terminating NUL' by 'terminating null byte'.
Replace 'final NUL' by 'terminating null byte'.
Replace 'NUL character' by 'null byte'.

Michael Kerrisk 898e9a87df Hello Joey, 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=205736

[[
This example contains the following line:

    if ((p = realloc (p, size)) == NULL)
       return NULL;

This is a very ill written code, since realloc returning
NULL do not deallocate the original memory block. Such a 
statement has a potential to become significant memory
hole. I suggest to correct this example since:

1. It may trick naive programmers to write bad code
2. It may lead skeptic observers to the believe 
   the whole Linux is written in a similar style.
   

Regards Jan Kuznik 
]]

This guy is right on the money!

I've changed that example, so that the above code has been replaced by:

    char *np;

    ...


    if ((np = realloc (p, size)) == NULL) {
        free(p);
        return NULL;
    } else {
        p = np;
    }

Cheers,

Michael
