Why not?
| int i;
| int n = 0;
| int tot = CR_DEFAULT_FDTABLE;

IHMO easier readable.

The process is suspended at this state?

_NO_. tot is signed, this does not have documented overflow behaviour.
You need to restrict this to a sane number.

krealloc does not free the memory on error, so this is a leak.
