Maybe I am blind but I think that Rich actually added 4 bytes (`int
foo_init` ) , not removed them.

afaik static arrays are filled at compiletime and are stored as they
are in the binnary. (not sure if any compiler optimizes them out).

So this commit may be useful if rand() have some hroonic misbehaviour
leading to numerous fillings of first array with -1, when MAX_SHIFT is
32 or something like that;

I would prefer dynamic allocation per filter. (no static arrays at all)
