Just as a sidenote, and a reminder to the future

At least on my Mac, static variables sometimes get 'hidden' by the compiler
that removes them from the symbol table. That makes very hard to trace them
with the debugger.

It was me who changed the canaries not to be static in order to be able to
locate a buffer overflow in the code some time ago. When they were static I was
unable to have gdb tracing who (over)writes the canary.
