// newHdrBuf returns a buffer of suitable size to
// read bytes from a file header or magic number.
//
// File header is *USUALLY* 261 bytes at the start
// of a file; magic number can be much less than
// that (just a few bytes).
//
// To cover both cases, this function returns a buffer
// suitable for whichever is smallest: the first 261
// bytes of the file, or the whole file.
