I don't think we can realloc refs here. It's passed into do_fetch. When we realloc it, the old pointer value will be invalid. But when we return from do_fetch, the caller (fetch_one) will still have that old value, and will call free() on it.

Instead, you have to make a whole new list, copy the old values in, add your new one, and then free the result.
