Mark Vitale 094066b485 pt_util: Dynamically allocate page buffer 
Since introduced in commit 53986479ee (ptutil-initial-20001219),
pt_util has used a statically allocated buffer to read pages from the
database.  In several places the buffer is cast to a struct ubik_header.

Memory allocated dynamically via malloc()/calloc() is guaranteed to be
properly aligned for objects of any type at run time, however buffers
that are not allocated dynamically have no such guarantee.  So, instead
of using a statically allocated buffer, dynamically allocate it with
calloc() to ensure it is aligned for struct ubik_header objects.

This fixes a SIGBUS error whenever the buffer happens to be built with a
non-word alignment.  This failure was observed while running the
tests/ptserver/pt_util-t unit test on Solaris SPARC 64-bit.

Note:  By inspection, the same potential problem exists in
src/kauth/ka_util.c.  However, kaserver is deprecated and ka_util has
never been built by default.

AFS is a distributed file system that enables users to share and
access all of the files stored in a network of computers as easily as
they access the files stored on their local machines. The file system is
called distributed for this exact reason: files can reside on many
different machines, but are available to users on every machine.
