whew.. after some more debugging, it would appear that the problem lies somewhere in the page stuff, which I know less than nothing about. Here's the point where I'm at: heapam.c line 442 a macro call to HeapTupleSatisfies graps our data for us (the messed up struct), which actually calls the PageGetItem macro for the data. but, the curious thing is that the relation pointer that gets passed to both heapgettup and the macro calls contains the correct struct in relation->rd_att->attrs[0], but then a faulty one is being returned by PageGetItem. PageGetItem just appears to return a pointer somewhere in the page.. where does this page stuff get written? I'm not sure how much farther I can go.. I'll check out the backend flowchart for more info. I might also do a diff to see which page stuff has changed.. Is it possible to back out the atttypmod changes to see if that fixes it?
