2005-03-10  Sven Neumann  <sven@gimp.org>

	* glib/gfileutils.c (get_contents_stdio): delay memory allocation
	until after the first read. Saves a bunch of reallocs. Also
	increased the buffer size to 4096 bytes. (bug #165954)

	* tests/file-test.c (test_get_contents): added a (very basic) test
	for g_file_get_contents().
