Fix allocation of array for 4D arrays in IOASCII

Issue #818 closed
Frank Löffler created an issue

(At least) one place in IOASCII assumes maxdim<=3 by only allocating 3 entries of an array but then writing maxdim entries. The thorn TestArrays tests 4D arrays in its testsuite and while this seems to work on 64bit machines, it gives a segfault on 32bit machines (plus valgrind complaining loudly). Allocating maxdim entries (like also done elsewhere in the file) solves this problem, as indicated in the attached patch.

    Patch looks fine (the whole line of it) :-). And the extra memory consumption of 8 (4) bytes is negligible.

    Please apply.
