Okay, this is an easy fix.

True, there is some confusion in the GUC code about what allocation routine
should be used. I tried to use the same allocation method as an
already-existing similar allocation.
To lessen this confusion, can you do some cleanup work on the current GUC
code in this area that I can use as a basis for a revised version of the
patch?
Did you also do tests on the functional aspects of the patch?
