True, it's not much memory.  And I'm not saying that the change should
be done differently.  All I'm saying is that you can remove the static
keyword, so this variable appears on the stack instead of being global.
This will reduce the size of the application.  I don't see any advantage
in making this particular variable static but if there is one that I'm
missing, that's fine.

Personally it doesn't bother me since my embedded systems tend to have
lots of RAM :-) ; it was just something I noticed in passing.

Cheers!
