[Win32utils-devel] buffer size for win32-eventlog (was infinite loop bug...)

I can confirm this behavior.  It looks like a problem with the buffer size 
and reallocation.  Because, if I increase the BUFFER_SIZE macro, I get more 
records.

Now, as to why the realloc() isn't working like we expect I'm not sure.
