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