Summary:                    zero size calloc does not return object
(src/rasqal_row.c)
Description: 
src/rasqal_row.c does:

  row->values = (rasqal_literal**)RASQAL_CALLOC(array, row->size,
                                                 sizeof(rasqal_literal*));

With row->size sometimes equal to 0. On AIX this returns NULL, and then the
function returns NULL which causes the datetime test to fail.

Steps to Reproduce: 
Run the testsuite on AIX 5.3

Additional Information: 
Not sure that this patch is correct, but the test passes.
