That would imply the SPI_execp call is trashing the value of data. Have you
confirmed that? (Sometimes it helps to confirm exactly where a pointer is
getting hammered.)
column_length is something sensible like word_length I presume.
That sizeof(int32) should really be VARHDRSZ imo, but I can't see how that's
breaking it.
Disclaimer: I have no idea what I'm doing here.
