bdiff: fix malloc(0) issue in fixws()
If fixws() is called on a zero-length string, malloc(0) is called and
expected to return a pointer. Which it does on e.g. Linux. AIX returns
NULL, which it is also legal, but the malloc() is then assumed to have
failed. So ensure a valid pointer is always returned.
