Good advice.  I will make this pointer static and the problem with
static buffer disappear.  I think this pointer is 1% from my algorithm.

Since nobody intrested from the mathematics aspect of the algorithm I
give I find my project _dead_ already!  Please, _don't use_ this malloc
and very sorry for all my postings on this topic here.

PS.  I am not 100% sure, but may be Laurent does not look on the
source before writting.  Have you seen only this pointer, Laurent?
Really the discusion obout the pointer is good, but not so important!
