Please note that local static variables are against Emacs coding
guidelines (see the node "Writing Emacs Primitives" in the ELisp
manual).  This is because on some systems "static" gets defined away
(is HP-UX one of those systems, per chance?).

So I think the change that Handa-san suggested needs to be done
anyway, no matter what are the particulars of this problem on HP-UX.
