Description: 
 This function
allocates memory in a similar manner to the standard C 
" calloc
" function, but with
improved security (against memory leaks, etc.) and with error reporting. It also fills
the allocated memory with zeros.
Like astMalloc, it allows zero-sized memory allocation (without
error), resulting in a NULL returned pointer value.  
Synopsis 
 void
astCalloc(
size_t nmemb, size_t size )  
 Parameters: 
  nmemb  
 The number of array elements for
which memory is to be allocated.  
  size  
 The size of each array element, in bytes.  
  Returned Value 
  astCalloc()  
 If successful, the function returns a pointer to the
start of the allocated memory region. If the size allocated is zero, this will be a
NULL pointer.
