Thanks, the more replies i get the more embarrasing this is, especially
since i thought i was pretty confident with pointers, and been using
them in a similar fashion, but never had a need of reallocating them
somewhere else. 
This was something i should've known, and i hate that.

What i would like to know now is, if the allocated size of the array 
ptr points at can be determined in some way.
I'm in the process of putting all my library function neatly together, 
and i would love to make some functions capable of determining whether a 
reallocation is necessary or not, and not rely on the programmer taking
care of it. On the other hand if a pointer is allocated and i realloc it 
willy-nilly i may actually reduce the size allocated by the programmer
and that could lead to some interesting problems later on.                 
                     
Any ideas ? 

While i got you, is vidmanager on the net yet ? 
If so, where can i get it ?
Thanks,
