Currently the minimal supported version of glib is 2.22. Since testing is done with a glib that claims to be 2.22, but in fact has APIs from newer version of glib, this bug was not caught during submit of the patch referenced below. Replace g_realloc_n, which is available only since 2.24, with g_renew.
