Do you really need to copy the relation tupdesc when you only are going
to make a one-time check of the number of attributes?  This coding would
make some sense if you intended to use the tupdesc again later in the
functions, but it appears you don't.

Also, what about cases where the relation contains dropped columns ---
it's not obvious whether this test is correct in that case.
