policy and the data dependent initialization is very fragile. I.e.
the code assumes because the data entry is of type foo, it has
initialized certain fields and others not.
- make sure list is not NULL before you use it.
- don't realloc on every loop iteration!
- don't increment i when there are short lines; leads to uninitialized
list[i] entries [fixes bills' core-dump, hi bill!]
