Wait a minute... that cannot be right.
We're creating arrays with more than 0 elements all over the place
and use PUSH to populate them.

Turns out that new elements are only added as-needed:
/**
 * Add a new element to an array (as a first-in, last-out stack)
 * @param arr The array to add an element to.
 * @return Location for the new element in the array.
 * @remark If there are no free spots in the array, then this function will
 * allocate new space for the new element.
 */
APR_DECLARE(void *) apr_array_push(apr_array_header_t *arr);
[...]
#define APR_ARRAY_PUSH(ary,type) (*((type *)apr_array_push(ary)))

So I guess using PUSH in that loop is fine after all.
