bmenrigh 1d732258c8 Changed the memory allocation strategy for NmapOutputTable from ...

estimating the worst-possible-case memory usage (the longest row
length times the number of rows) to a more reasonable dynamic
allocation of memory.  Now the buffer is started at 512 bytes and
approximately doubled each time it fills.  512 bytes is a compromise
that was determined empirically.  Most regular scans use less than 512
bytes.  Scans with -sV and especially -sC tend to use a few k of
memory.

See http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2009/q1/0782.html for the tests.
