Comment (by Ivan Shmakov <address@hidden>):

 BTW, both the original and the modified code implies that it's
         valid to use realloc () on the result of C_align (malloc (...)).
         And it's obviously true iff malloc () returns an already aligned
         address.  However, I cannot say whether the above code would
         still be valid if it's not the case.
