t9300: avoid short reads from dd
dd is a thin wrapper around read(2). As open group Issue 7 explains:
It shall read the input one block at a time, using the specified
input block size; it shall then process the block of data
actually returned, which could be smaller than the requested
block size.
Any short read --- for example from a pipe whose capacity cannot fill
a block --- results in that block being truncated. As a result, the
first cat-blob test (9300.114) fails on Mac OS X, where the pipe
capacity is around 8 KiB.
Fix the test by using a block size of 1. Each read will block until
the next byte of input is available.
It would be even nicer to use head -c which expresses the intention
more clearly. Alas, IRIX "head" does not support the -c option.
