Change the grow_data_for function to copy struct data and
modifiy the fields it is updating instead of storing all
fields individually to a stack allocated struct.

This reduces maintence for future enhancements as now all
instances of struct data are created by modifying a copy
of an existing struct data or directly copying empty_data.

It took me a bit of time to find the source of the
uninitialized pointer that was causing my changes
to segfault.
