I apologize for the lengthy code. I have a simple question, but I thought I include my code so it will be clear where I am coming from. I get a realloc corruption. I think the corruption is because I am not freeing correctly. In reality I am not sure what glibc even says or means. Can any one briefly explain that to me? Again sorry for the lengthy code.
