Generally, arrays are not efficiently re-sized.  It is best to 
pre-allocate, or simply create a list by appending and then convert to 
an array after the fact as you have done.

If you need to resize, then use the resize *function* which basically 
handles the creating of the new array.  However, it also replicates the 
data, which may not be what you want.
