Missing the return -1; when listresize() fails?

Yes. Will fix.

In the following 2 for loops, the original code modified self->obsize. In the new version I don't notice obsize being updated. Given the context, I'm not sure if the behaviour is different or not between versions.

self->ob_size is now updated by list_resize() so the loop no longer needs to do the update. This is a nice improvement clients of list_resize() do not need to manage ob_size; rather, the just request the size they want and the data structure keeps its integrity.
