Reduce it incrmentally, by a small amount, testing it each time.
Re: your "most likely" remark: IMO it's not a good idea to try
such 'second guessing' when debugging. *Test*, and *prove* things.

We can't help with that here, since C has no concept of
'near' or 'far'. If that does turn out to be an issue,
you'll need to consult support resources for your implementation
and/or platform.

We only do ISO standard C here, sorry. If you post a complete,
compilable program, using only standard constructs, we can
tell you whether it *should* work, according to the language
rules.

BTW please don't top post.
