65535 is the maximum you can store in an unsigned 16 bit field.
However, what you said above is not correct.  realloc takes
as a parameter a size_t value.  sizeof returns a size_t value.
that is quite sufficient.  If size_t only gets up to 65535, 
then that's all you're going to get anyway, no matter how many
times you cast it to a long.  BFN.  Paul.
