I was thinking about alloca() too, we already use it in src/conv.c. […]

I suggest to stay with the heap allocation for now. alloca() is nice, but it's a more radical change compared to calloc() -> malloc(). I am not confident enough that using the stack here is does not introduce non-obvious pitfalls.
