So this is evidently the fault of efbfb6424, which isn't accounting
for the possibility that the next remainder has no associated partition.
That results in boundinfo->indexes[offset + 1] being -1, whereupon we
pass garbage to get_rel_name() and get back a NULL.
I think the patch has got more problems than that too, as it's far
from clear why the next remainder would have anything to do with the
next larger modulus. IOW I suspect that when it does manage to print
a partition name without crashing, it's very likely to print the
wrong partition.
I'm inclined to think we should just revert efbfb6424, and maybe
try again some other time.
