Summary: Repeated File Open fails

Initial Comment:
The device/inode identifier introduced in SF#1027788 are not initialized properly in CloseWindow() and thus erroneously reports any file opened and closed as still opened. This only shows if nedit.honorSymlinks is set to false.

To repeat:
(unset NEDIT_HOME && source/nedit -xrm "nedit.honorSymlinks: False")
- open any file
- close it
- open it again

(Thanks to Bert Wesarg for pointing this out.)

I'm not at all sure. I looked over the other stuff yesterday, found some
code segments in serious needs of refactoring (eg.
CreateDocument()/CreateWindow()), immediatley thought about my whining
during the last years and stopped thinking about it. Sorry.

So please, by all means, point out any places where initialisations are
needed. I will have a look at the window->lastModTime positions later
today.

So I think we shouldn't call memset() but initializeWindowInfo(WindowInfo*
window) and think about the problem elsewhere. Refactoring. Sigh.

Are you sure this is the only place the device & inode need initialising?
window->lastModTime is set to 0 three times in source/window.c and four
times in source/file.c as part of WindowInfo initialisations/cleanups.

There is a comment in one place that we possibly should do:

memset(window, 0, sizeof(WindowInfo));
