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.
