When passed a null pointer, xrealloc croaks on SunOS 4.1.1B.
Solution:

Make xrealloc read:
/* Like realloc (), but barfs if there isn't enough memory. */
char *
xrealloc (pointer, nbytes)
     char *pointer;
     int nbytes;
{
  if (!pointer) return (xmalloc( nbytes));   /* use malloc if NULL pointer */

  pointer = (char *) realloc (pointer, nbytes);
  if (!pointer)
    {
      error ("Virtual memory exhausted in realloc ().");
      abort ();
    }
  return (pointer);
}

This seems to work well.
