Description

Hello,
I've had several crashes using bip 0.9.0-rc1-git

For example:

(gdb) bt

I've also another coredump (but for some reason, gdb does not get lines correctly):

But i'm not quite sure why it crashes.

The following patch should help if there's a race (between increment and realloc) but I think it's unlikely to be the problem.
