The only odd thing I see is the use of PG_ARGS to pass the arguments to
citextcmp. But I can't see why it would break either. Can you attach a
debugger and see where it goes wrong?

As to the comment about freeing stuff, it's usually nice if btree
comparison functions free memory because that way index rebuilds on
large tables don't run you out of memory.

Have a nice day,
