 I missed simple and obvious fix!
 
 Replace
 
 > if (!nptr && ptr)
 >     free(ptr);
 
 with
 
  > if (!nptr && ptr && size > 0)
  >     free(ptr);
 
 Because -
 
 When size>0 the previous behavior is maintained.
 
 When size==0 and V option not set, then nptr!=NULL (realloc(,0) never 
 fail) so the ptr is not free - correct behavior.
 
 When size==0 and V option IS set then we know the ptr is freed by 
 realloc and it's not freed again here - correct behavior.
