	Revert a6df7afc605079df7d85318846a522ef64aaa44d, change of
	2016-05-03, which used realloc to shrink the buffer, in an
	attempt to save memory.  In actuality, it could cause increased
	memory usage, even though there was no memory leak. See
	https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gawk/2019-08/msg00003.html
	and the rest of thread for more detail.

	* builtin.c (format_tree): Don't use realloc, just call
	make_str_node with the original buffer. Remove `olen_final'
	variable and its use.

2019-08-15         Andrew J. Schorr      <aschorr@telemetry-investments.com>

	Reduce memory usage by only compiling the IGNORECASE version of
	regexp when it's actually needed.

	* re.c (re_cache_get): New function.
	(re_update): Use it as appropriate.

	the loop's computation.
	(do_and): Improve the initial value for the result.

2019-07-23         Andrew J. Schorr      <aschorr@telemetry-investments.com>

	Fix reporting of negative arguments for and(), or() and xor().
	Thanks to Koichi Murase <myoga.murase@gmail.com> for the
	report.

	* builtin.c (do_and): Use nargs instead of i in the loop to
	check for non-numeric and negative arguments.
	(do_or): Ditto.
	(do_xor): Ditto.

2019-06-30         Arnold D. Robbins     <arnold@skeeve.com>
