Here's a tiny fix to avoid a leak when realloc fails:

2007-06-16  Jim Meyering  [off-list ref]

	* tdb.c (tdb_append): Don't leak a buffer when realloc fails.
Hi Jim,

	Thanks for the patch!  I actually automatically build the
tdb.c file from the Samba SVN tree (with a series of patches and
scripts) at: 

	svn://svnanon.samba.org/samba/branches/SAMBA_4_0/source/lib/tdb

So I'm going to forward this patch (attached) to the Samba developers.
It appears to apply cleanly to .../source/lib/tdb/common/tdb.c.  Once
they commit it into their SVN tree, I can just pick it up from there.
Thanks Ted, we fixed this in the generic Samba sources by using
realloc wrappers, but tdb has to be separate from these.

I'll commit the fix asap.

Thanks,

	Jeremy.
