I'm converting an array of integers into a char by iterating through the whole array, and then I'm adding the resulting string to ncurses's method new_item. For some reason I'm doing something wrong the way I reallocate memory, thus I get the the first column as:

-4 Choice 1                 0 Choice 1
 4 Choice 2                 1 Choice 1
 4 Choice 3  - Instead of - 2 Choice 1
 4 Choice 4                 3 Choice 1
 4 Exit                     4 Choice 1

#include <stdio.h>

#define ARRAY_SIZE(a) (sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]))

char *choices[] = {
                        "Choice 1",
                        "Choice 2",
                        "Choice 3",
                        "Choice 4",
                        "Exit",
                  };
int table[5]={0,1,2,3,4}; 
int main()
{   ITEM **my_items;
    int c;              
    MENU *my_menu;
    int n_choices, i;
    ITEM *cur_item;

    initscr();

    n_choices = ARRAY_SIZE(choices);
    my_items = (ITEM **)calloc(n_choices + 1, sizeof(ITEM *));

    // right here
    char *convert = NULL;
    for(i = 0; i < n_choices; ++i){
        convert = (char *) realloc (convert, sizeof(char) * 4);
        sprintf(convert, "%i", table[i]); 
        my_items[i] = new_item(convert, choices[i]);
    }
    my_items[n_choices] = (ITEM *)NULL;

    my_menu = new_menu((ITEM **)my_items);
    mvprintw(LINES - 2, 0, "F1 to Exit");
    post_menu(my_menu);
    refresh();

    while((c = getch()) != KEY_F(1))
    {   switch(c)
        {   case KEY_DOWN:
                menu_driver(my_menu, REQ_DOWN_ITEM);
                break;
            case KEY_UP:

                break;
        }
    }
    free(convert);  

    unpost_menu(my_menu);
