Avoid using calloc(). This triggered an obscure bug on multiprocessor

Browse source 
Sparc Solaris 2.6 (fully patched!) that I don't want to dig into, but
which I suspect is a bug in the multithreaded malloc library that only
shows up when run on a multiprocessor.  (The program wasn't using
threads, it was just using the multithreaded C library.)
