Sometimes a large file is truncated (test_largefile). While estimated_size is used as a estimate (the read will stil get the number of bytes in the file), that it is much larger than the actual size of data can result in a significant over allocation and sometimes lead to a MemoryError / running out of memory. This brings the C implementation to match the Python _pyio implementation.

While estimated_size is used as a estimate (the read will get all the bytes in the file when it is wrong), that it is much larger than the actual size of data can result in a significant over allocation and sometimes lead to a MemoryError / running out of memory.

I've been unable to reproduce the failure locally so far by running
./build/python -bb -E -Wd -m test -r -w -uall test_largefile. My suspicion is that the AMD64 box has limited memory. Working to try and test peak memory usage in the test / if that went down
