    Problem Text
    This assertion is testing for Non-XPG4 requirements. From above the assertion
    is the following:

    Assertion XtRealloc-6.(A)
    When num is zero and ptr is not NULL a call to char
    *XtRealloc(ptr, num) shall free the object pointed to by
    ptr.


    The XtRealloc description on page 193 of the X Toolkit Intrinsics
    specification makes no mention of behavior of XtRealloc() when
    num is zero. On page 194 it specifically states the following:
    "To free an allocated block of storage, use XtFree."

    This test should be removed from the Test Suite.

    Test Output
    TEST CASE: XtRealloc

    TEST PURPOSE #6
    Assertion XtRealloc-6.(A)
    When num is zero and ptr is not NULL a call to char
    *XtRealloc(ptr, num) shall free the object pointed to by
    ptr.
    PREP: Initialize toolkit, Open display and Create topLevel root widget
    PREP: Create windows for widgets and map them
    PREP: Determine largest malloc
    PREP: Allocate memory
    TEST: Call XtRealloc for memory, setting num = 0
    TEST: Again attempt the XtMalloc
    ERROR: ****************************************************************
    ERROR: An Xt error occured during a toolkit call:
    ERROR: Cannot perform malloc

    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    We recommend this request be refused.

    Page 205 of the current specification states "These functions are
    completely compatible with their standard C language runtime
    counterparts ... with the following added functionality."

    As both ISO C and XSH specify for realloc() the behavior tested here
    we believe the test is a necessary element of the test suite.
