But it isn't a direct call to realloc(). There is still room for a bug 
in there...it seems strange that you couldn't get it to work.

I thought realloc() was supposed to make it so you didn't have to do 
this. :-(
I was wondering if calling realloc() directly might bypass something 
POV's functions are breaking.

Hmm, my copy of "3D Graphics Programming" has some explanations of 
cubic, Hermite, and Bezier splines...not that I can make much sense of 
it. Not much in the way of examples either...mostly just the math.
