Eric Wong 1100288eba avoid stack overflow when escaping large strings
Attempting to escape large, untrusted strings cause stack
overflows (easier under Ruby 1.9 using pthreads) leading to
SystemStackError on small overflows and segmentation faults on
large overflows.  Instead of allocating on the stack, we'll
allocate a string buffer from the heap.

This has the unfortunate effect of reducing escape performance
for common cases, but in my experience SQL escaping isn't much
of a bottleneck.

For reference, Ruby 1.9.2-p0 with pthreads gets a stack size of
512K and the default process stack size is 8MB on both x86 and
x86_64 Linux.
