 this PR can be closed.
 The handling of loader_conf_files was broken and it depended on
 the address returned on a realloc (basically, the assignment
 was ignored if the new value for the variable fit the same
 buffer used for the old variable).
 
 This has been fixed in HEAD back in dec.2008, and in RELENG_7
 a week ago
