Fixed code in 2.69test for from git pull.

It seems to take the extra checking compiler flags that Debian packag 
builds use, and an ARM architecture, to detect this, same build flags on 
i386 didn't find it.

The moral of this story is don't used fixed-size buffers, even for fixed 
strings. One day you may expand the strings, and then the buffer will be 
too small :-(

Thanks for the bug report.


Cheers,

Simon.
