OK, once wine hits 1.0 and is in production, let's go back and do that.

Seriously, what's the disadvantage to keeping the initial size small?
The overhead of six realloc's is utterly insignificant, and there's
a fairly good chance somebody will get the locking wrong in an update
to that code, so making the reallocs happen in the common case
is a *good* thing that will help guard against bugs.
