I suppose this should have been spit into two bugs, but for now we can keep the
discussion focused.

The reason fixing realloc requires discussion is that fixing this may break
exiting code in the case where it is passed an interior pointer with a non zero
size parameter.

Fixing the case where the pointer is internal and either realloc is called with
size zero or free is called does not break existing code unless the GC is
disabled, where it will cause memory leaks.
