rs: Fix a use after free.
Using a pointer passed to realloc() after realloc() even for pointer
arithmetic is UB. It also breaks in practice on CHERI systems as
the updated value of 'sp' in this case would have had the bounds from
the old allocation.
This would be much cleaner if elem were a std::vector<char *>.
