This function calls the rightsize_buf function, which attempts to
reallocate a buffer if there isn't enough space. It is possible, but
extremely unlikely, that the reallocation will fail and the buffer will be
replaced with a nullptr. Any attempt to dereference that nullptr will
crash the frontend.
