What are Lua's expected semantics of:

1. realloc() an existing block to a size of 0 bytes?

Knowing how much the Lua designers like to stick to well-known
principles, I guess I did not need to ask either question :-)

Lua's expected realloc() semantics are very slightly more restricted than
what POSIX allows. See http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#3.7

I'm also reading lmem.h which is saying the same thing, fortunately :-)
