Thank you very much. It works!!!

Postgres makes no special effort to avoid multiple calls of the same
function. Especially since you declared it STABLE.

Not a bug nor a special feature, just the way it is. If you put OFFSET 0
in the subquery, that will stop the expansion of the subquery, thus the
function will only be called once.
