Bug 2942: "xman" may crash when opening the print dialog
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2942
Attachment 2360: Patch for 2005-04-09-trunk which uses |XtCalloc()| instead of
|XtMalloc()| to clear the |ManpageGlobals| structure correctly

------- Additional Comments from Roland Mainz <roland.mainz at nrubsig.org>
Requesting approval for X11R6.8.x stable branch. The patches cures a quite
common crasher in "xman"'s print dialog which may occur on opening the dialog
due an uninitalised structure.
The fix is to clear the structure before using it (=allocating it using
|XtCalloc()| instead of |XtMalloc()|).
