Do you mean -O0 here?

I have looked over indexing.c and can still see nothing strange. I do
remember that ProcedureSrcIndexScan/PROSRC cache call never worked in
the old code, so this call is now working, but that is the only
functional difference I remember.

The old code in this section was somewhat mangled.

Can I telnet into this machine?

My guess is that hTupDesc is badly formed, not having the proper
attributes for the relation. Can you do a print of *hTupDesc, and
attrNums[0]?
