In a series of previous papers of the first and third
authors, caustics,
cut-loci, spheres and wave fronts of a system of subriemannian
geodesics
issuing from a point $q_{0}$ have been studied. It happens
that, outside $%
q_{0},$ only certain special arrangements of classical
Lagrangian and
Legendrian singularities occur.\ As a\ consequence of
this, for instance,
the generic caustic is a globally stable object, outside
the origin $q_{0}.$
Here, we solve two remaining stability problems.
The first part of the paper shows that, in fact, generic
caustics have
moduli at the origin, and the first module that occurs
has a simple
geometric interpretation.
On the contrary, the second part of the paper shows a
stability result at $q_{0}$.
We define the ''big wave front'' : it is the graph of
the
multivalued function $arclength\rightarrow wave-front$,
reparametrized in a
certain way. This object is a three dimensional surface,
which has also the
natural structure of a wave front. The projection on
the 3-dimensional space
of the singular set of this ''big wave front'' is nothing
but the caustic.
We show that, in fact, this big wave front is Legendre-stable
at the origin.
