Why ? I don't see pointer subtraction in the code.

Indeed the size of this array could be up to 16k + 4. I guess
Philippe's point make sense. David's request was to use uint8_t
instead of uin32t_t, not to drop g_new0(). Please revert to
using the heap.
lookup_index_table[] can _only_ grow up to 516 bytes, which is
less problematic, but it doesn't hurt either to allocate it
on the heap. Not changing that would make this patch simpler.
