help to identify the reason that extension's C function returns array get segmentation fault

I have written an extension to manage openstreetmap data. There is a C
function to perform spatial top k query on several tables and return an
array of int8 type as result. The code skeleton of this function is as
follows:

Datum vquery(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS) {

int array_len = PG_GETARG_INT32(0);
long * node_ids;

SPI_connect();

//some code to retrieve data from various tables
// node_ids are allocated and filled up

ArrayType * retarr;
Datum * vals ;

vals = palloc0(array_len * sizeof(long));

// fill the vals up
for (i = 0 ; i < array_len ; i++)
vals[i] = Int64GetDatum((node_ids[i]));

retarr = construct_array(vals, retcnt, INT8OID, sizeof(long), true, 'i');

SPI_finish();

PG_RETURN_ARRAYTYPE_P(retarr);
}

the function runs smoothly when called using relatively small parameter,
such as select(unnest(vquery(1000))) ; but when called with large
parameter, such as select(unnest(vquery(50000))), sometimes it runs
normally, sometimes it runs into "Segmentation Fault" error. the larger the
parameter is, the more likely to run into segmentation fault.

back trace of the process as followings:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Some background information to mention:

I have used some 3rd C libraries in the extension, those libraries use c
standard memory allocation functions such as malloc and calloc other than
the postgres memory management fucntions( palloc and pfree). Those library
implement the data structure of vector, hashtable and priority queue.
