But cli_realloc does NOT fail. I don't get that error message.
Possibly it doesn't fail because it's not trying to alloc as
much memory. Only the cli_calloc() in messageCreate() fails,
trying to calloc 68 bytes.
Why does the loop repeat and try to do the exact same thing
when messageCreate() fails?
