Something very funny is going on here.  That's basic shell allocation
stuff that's failing, which gets used all the time.  Also, it shouldn't
need to reallocate at all until there are 256 characters in the input
token, which you haven't got close to.  There are no interrupts or
recursion involved.

Looks like there's a Mystery Ingredient.
