Hi Paul,

> +              buf = allocated = xrealloc (allocated, bufsize);

The contents of the 'allocated' buffer is scratch, therefore malloc + free
should be faster than realloc (except maybe on Linux systems, due to the
mremap() system call).

Also, the '3 * (lena + lenb)' guess is pessimistic; it is possible that
it may return with ENOMEM when in fact strxfrm's real needs would not
lead to ENOMEM.
