Oh, but of course: if you are returning NULL then this sequence fails
because it pfrees an uninitialized pointer. It's fixed in CVS tip,
where the sequence reads like
if (SPI_finish() != SPI_OK_FINISH)
elog(ERROR, "pltcl: SPI_finish() failed");
if (fcinfo->isnull)
retval = (Datum) 0;
else
{
UTF_BEGIN;
retval = FunctionCall3(&prodesc->result_in_func,
PointerGetDatum(UTF_U2E(interp->result)),
ObjectIdGetDatum(prodesc->result_in_elem),
Int32GetDatum(-1));
UTF_END;
}
The reason I failed to duplicate it here was I didn't compile with
--enable-multibyte. The bug is definitely still there in 7.2.3 if
you use multibyte.
