Anand reports that the static buffers used for pertty size strings cause a stack overflow on SPARC. Zach proposed to change the printf format to wrap the number and the suffix into a macro. This would require to change all callsites of pretty_size* and is not very convienient to write.
This patch replaces the per-call-site static buffers with a limited number for slots that would be used on each invokation of pretty_size and wrap around. The number of array slots shall be 10 for now, in current codebase there are no more than 2 calls to pretty_size in a single argument list.
