No. That problem exists too, but is irrelevant for the current code base:
there has been one bug of that kind about three years ago, AFAIK that is
all.

The problem that was addressed here was that, officially according to POSIX,
using realloc() on a buffer returned by posix_memalign() is an undefined
behaviour. In practice, we had quite a few of these cases but that never
caused any problem.
