I'm reusing the same block across function calls, to avoid useless
memory allocations. This is fine if you are not calling the
function recursively (which I don't think you'll be doing in your
case, and my functions don't do anyway), since the block is not
returned.
I always put a warning when I use this technique, because it's
easy to forget of it and then difficult to find the bugs. :)
Regards,
Gabriele.
