Valgrind saw Prodigal access uninitialized memory. This was because resizing the nodes array using realloc did not zero the newly allocated memory. This could have had consequences for generated gene predictions if you were unlucky.
This PR makes sure that the new memory is zeroed as well. In addition, an error message if /dev/stdin was not available was fixed to not crash.
