api_replicate.cc doesn't compile under Visual C++

[Charlie Hull]

The function truncated_copy contains a buffer allocated in a way Visual C++ doesn't like, giving the errors:

.\api_replicate.cc(110) : error C2057: expected constant expression
.\api_replicate.cc(110) : error C2466: cannot allocate an array of constant size
 0
.\api_replicate.cc(110) : error C2133: 'buf' : unknown size

A malloc should fix this.

Fixed in r14313 by using a fixed size buffer, and repeating the read/write cycle if necessary.

Please close if this fixes the problem under Visual C++.

Yes that's got it, attached is a small patch to keep up with recent changes to the test harness - if you could apply this I'd be grateful.

Patch for MSVC makefiles - add in some new files in testsuite

Richard seems to have applied the patch.

Marking fixed in 1.1.5.
