Minor, but please use size_t for allocation variables.

Technically this probably ought to be a size_t as well, but I'm much
more concerned about the allocation ones, where we might accidentally
overflow and underallocate a buffer. Overflowing "i" would probably just
lead to an error or bad result.

I _think_ what the patch is actually doing makes sense (taking as an
assumption that it's heading in a useful direction for the end of the
series).
