fetch_search_path() and elog.c

Hi,

I need to have in the log_line_prefix the search_path where the query
has run.
So last week I've started to read elog.c and I was thinking about a
small patch there using a new "%S" option.

First I've introduced a small code:
case 'S':
{
List *search_path = fetch_search_path(false);
if (search_path != NIL) {
ListCell *l;
foreach(l, search_path)
{
char *nspname;

nspname = get_namespace_name(lfirst_oid(l));
if (nspname) /* watch out for
deleted namespace */
{
appendStringInfo(buf, "%s ", nspname);
pfree(nspname);
}
}
list_free(search_path);
}
break;
}

but in this way postgres was starting with a core dump writing on log.

Then I've add some code, and now it starts but it kills the postgres
process as soon as a query has sent to log:

$ diff -u elog.c elog_new.c

break;

And here there is the client output:

bash-2.05a$ psql prova -U pgsql

\q to quit

prova=# select * from prova;

This probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.

Where can I start to understand which checks I've missed and how to gain
the output I need?

Thank you in advance, \ferz
