Ops! One more thinko, detected when trying fixed_buf[8], which caused a seg fault.

To fix, a init_var() in alloc_var() is needed when we will use the fixed_buf instead of allocating,
since alloc_var() could be called in a loop for existing values, like in sqrt_var() for instance.

Attached new version produces similar benchmark results, even with the extra init_var():
