Re: [PATCH v6 0/1] MR3736: winmm: Use CRT allocation functions.

Right, sorry about that.

However, let's start off with a commit that makes this explicit, to avoid mistakes by future reviewers. Something like:
```c
   if (llTypes[type].lpMlds) {
        WINE_MLD *mem = llTypes[type].lpMlds - 1;

mem = HeapReAlloc(GetProcessHeap(), 0, mem, sizeof(WINE_MLD) * (llTypes[type].wMaxId + 1));
        llTypes[type].lpMlds = mem + 1;
    } else {
        WINE_MLD *mem;

mem = HeapAlloc(GetProcessHeap(), 0, sizeof(WINE_MLD) * (llTypes[type].wMaxId + 1));
        llTypes[type].lpMlds = mem + 1;
    }
```

Then we can merge to two branches into `realloc()` in the commit that switches things to the CRT allocator.

Got it.
