WaterBlocks disappear bug without Terrain: uninitialized array

If you have no terrain in your scene random waterblocks can dissapear
problem:
in
void fluid::RebuildMasks( void )
pGrid is MALLOC'd and later checked without being initialized
If you have a terrain, then it should be initialized (unless if for some reason fluid's m_pTerrain pointer is not set when RebuildMasks is called)
In our case we have no terrain, so this results in random dissapearances of sections of water.
solution:
right after pGrid is MALLOC'd
MEMSET it to 1, signifying that all grid blocks are accepted.
unless there is some deeper initialization inside dMalloc I didn't see of course!
