wmcalc: Null-termitate display string when clearing.

Often, the number currently being displayed has more than 10 digits.
However, when clearing the display, only the first 10 digits were cleared.
When a new number was entered, it would be prepended to any digits that
weren't cleared.  This behavior was invisible to the user, causing
incorrect calculations, e.g., Debian bug #564173:

1814 / 720 * 300 -> 7568.41111

But the correct answer is 755.833333.

The problem was that when the display was cleared, the string that stores
this number was not null-terminated.  Indeed, 1814 / 720 gives us
2.519444444 (6 4's), but only 2.51944444 (5 4's) is displayed.  When we
begin to multiply by 300, the final 4 remained, and so we really were
multiplying by 3004.
