It is an old habit from my embedded programming days. Creating a large local buffer uses up a lot of stack space and it can even prevent the program from working if stack space is very tight. Making the buffer static does not affect the execution of the program (apart from increasing its data space requirement) and it can allow the program to continue working. In this particular case however I agree that is very unlikely that this change is going to make any real difference. If you really want I will revert it.
