Thanks Peter, your analysis was completely correct, and I
applied your suggested fix (plus another one to catch attempts
of allocating beyond top of RAM).

I sumitted a test file. I compile it with avr-gcc -mmcu=atmega128 -g realloc-test.c, but that shouldn't matter.

I think the Problem is, that you assume that cp is ptr+len in lines 132 and 133, which it isn't anymore, because it was changed in line 85.

I tried to reproduce this, but failed so far.

If you've got a simple test case, please submit it.

when I alloc a blcok of memory, and then realloc it to a larger size, __brkval is not updated coorectly, so the next call to malloc overwrites the first memory block.
I think I found how to fix it, too. I added
cp = (char *)ptr + len;
at line 128 in realloc.c .
It works for me.
