Reduce memory used by static buffers and allocate that memory dynamicly
instead. Based on an initial patch from Tobias Anderberg, but reworked. I asked Tobias to look into doing something more like what is done in busybox, but that proved to be a pain. One possible concern is that these buffers will probably show up as memory leaks i.e. with valgrind. Perhaps we should add in an atexit call to free this memory right after we allocate it?
