[svn-r23499] Merge from trunk
Fixes an issue (HDFFV-8159) where uninitialized memory was being read during variable-length type conversion. All variable-length type conversion buffers are now initialized to contain 0s on allocation. Tested on: jam w/ fortran and c++ This is a very small change (basially changing malloc to calloc) and is unlikely to cause issues on other platforms.
