Arbitrary limits, yuck.

stdin is not the only possibility for something that's not stat()able.

You shouldn't use stat() at all to get the size, but either just
read() until EOF, or read the header first and use the size in there.

Wait.. I already wrote this function.. look at load_blob() in
tests/testutils.c.  Why don't you give it a cleaner name, rather than
rewriting it badly.

save_blob() also in testutils.c

Yes, but what does the function actually *do*?
