  Log:
  The last commit created a memory leak because 'buf' is static.  Fix that,
  but also make the chosen block size more consistent by basing on the larger
  of STDOUT vs rfd rather then just basing it on STDOUT, and change the
  constant 1024 to BUFSIZ.
  
  It is unclear whether we should impose a minimum buffer size or a mod
  (e.g. x % st_blksize == 0) requirement as well.  There are currently no cases
  where this matters as anyone in their right mind will use 'dd' instead of
  'cat' on special block devices.  But at least in regards to /proc/*/map
  imposing a minimum based on fstat(rfd, ...) makes sense, though to really
  be correct we should also 'fix' procfs to report a block size sufficient to
  hold the map data in that case.
