Sorry, my fault, that should've been *(newtup[1]), which indeed looks
fine.

I'm still not having any luck tracking down my SEGV.  If anyone is
interested in debugging or even just reproducing this, I'd be happy to
post or E-mail you my code.  It looks like shortly after calling
gistSplit() there's maybe a double-free() somewhere?  Here's a typical
session; the NOTICEs are generated by my picksplit function:

$ gdb ./postgres
(gdb) run -D /var/lib/postgres/data test <x

[... output as many tuples are inserted, and finally ...]
