20000524: NWX WATCH_BOX plotting

When choosing the SPC-->Current Svr Tstm Torn Watches option,
I have found that the watch boxes are not always plotted on
the map...depending on which products had been selected previously.

For example, if I select the Meso Discussion first, then the watchboxes
will not get plotted when I select that product.

The problem appears to stem from the srchInfo.srchstr not being initialized
(since the boxes are plotted before the text search routine is called). As
a result, in fosd.c fosd_getdata(), srchInfo.srchstr has the value of the
previously selected product- which eventually leads to not finding the
watch boxes in the cst_srch() call in srchb.c. If I select "All Watchboxes"
first so that the srchstr has "WWUS40 KMKC", then the problem doesn't appear,
nor does it appear if the value is "\0" the first time through.

Adding:
srchInfo.srchstr[0] = '\0';
to the fosd_wbox routine appears to correct this problem, though it
probably should really have the bulletin id being read from the table.
