There is a bug in data_realloc(). We return wrong pointer when there
is no need to resize the record and it has been wrapped.

It might happen when we add only few characters and there was
a space because of alignment.

It would cause writing outside the buffer into another statically
defined variables. So, it might be it.

The following change patch should fix it:
