If we are using malloc-simple, we get into the problem, that calls to free() won't free any memory. When using bouncebuf in SPL with malloc-simple this means, that every allocated buffer is lost. This can quickly consume the whole heap.
This patch addresses this memory wasting by introducing a static allocated memory location, which is used instead of dynamically allocated buffers.
