Summary: Ttk depends on ckalloc(0) being non-NULL.

Initial Comment:
When testing Tk with the cvs HEAD using Electric Fence I found that Ttk is calling ckalloc(0) on startup of wish8.6, without any widgets created.  It's just a simple wish8.6 exec.

(gdb) print elementImpl->nResources

elementImpl->defaultValues = (Tcl_Obj**)
        ckalloc(elementImpl->nResources * sizeof(Tcl_Obj *));

This seems like it will require some sort of fix throughout the ttkTheme.c, or the requirement of providing nResources > 0.
