This hacking is not needed, if first argument of PyBytes_FromStringAndSize() is 
NULL, the contents of the bytes object are uninitialized. And more, this 
hacking is invalid, because empty bytes object shared and can't be resized.

Patch updated. The concatenation optimized as you suggested, one bug fixed.
