I believe you meant "number", not "size".

Wouldn't marked[maxsize] = {0}; work the same?

You're checking if maxsize can be negative. First of all, you've already 
allocated the array with negative size by this time (the 
"marked[maxsize]" one), second, why allow negative values at all? Why 
not just make it unsigned?

Why do it here when you do this first thing in the do..while loop anyway?

You're overwriting this value regardless. Why not 0? If you want to know 
for sure that the value either has or has not been modified, the 
conventional way to do this is to use INT_MAX from <limits.h>.

I have a suspicion that isblank() will not return 'true' on '\0' so 
there's probably a buffer overrun here, if you try to dereference *list 
while going past '\0'.

Probably clearer to reset both to zero or INT_MAX/INT_MIN?

unsigned?
