Summary: Testing: allocate as much memory as needed

Initial Comment:
Not sure if this is a bug per se, but there could be situations in which getpart.c's appendstring() could fail to allocate as much memory as needed in just one retry. If the attached patch does not make it through for some reason, it's also available at
http://cvsweb.freebsd.org/ports/ftp/curl/files/patch-tests::server::getpart.c

Once again, thanks for writing and maintaining curl!

Message:
Oof. Thanks a lot for pointing that out. I guess I really wasn't thinking
quite straight when I initially posted it - I guess I'm kind of used to my
own version of such realloc loops, and didn't notice it was done in the
sensible way for this case.

Apologies for your wasted time! :)

Message:
Sorry, I don't see how. Can you explain the code sequence when or how that
would happen?
