When Andrew was working on the memleak fixes, he pondered why buffer was declared as: char *buffer[16]; I changed it to char buffer[64] because 64 is 4 * 16 (I think? Someone should double check since I got 256 the first try). I don't know if 16 is a more proper buffer size, but changing it to 64 should make it behave more or less the same.
