Description:
In the function is_ibbackup_executable(), overflow occurs for the array variable
buf_stdout[]. This is a result of read_file_to_buffer() which didn't set null 
characters at the end of the buffer.

How to repeat:
See the code.

Suggested fix:
Terminate it with a null character.

This might as well fix random failures in windows on pb2
