If nothing is being written (i.e., in "test" mode), there's no need for "randholes" to allocate a write buffer. But to do this we make this series of changes: - When "very" verbose (> 1), there's no point in printing the values that have just been written to the file. They are just the file offset, and the buffer will not have changed between initializing those values and writing it out. - If we don't print the values at those offsets, then there's no need to fill them in at all when we're in test mode. - Now we only use the write buffer if we're not in test mode, so we can skip the allocation.
