The equality case of the i+k >= *n conditional covers the need to expand the buffer when the new content of length k would exactly fit but would not leave room for null termination. Just to make sure I wrote a quick test program, which I've attached, that should crash in free if the overflow occurs. It does not crash and the output demonstrates correct resizing. Rich
