Looking at print_aligned_text, this seems to suggest that cells[2] must be NULL --- you would get this kind of mistake if the number of non-null cells[] entries is not a multiple of the number of non-null headers[] entries. But I surely do not see how describeTableDetails would be setting that cell to null --- it does cells[i * cols + 2] = xmalloc(128 + 128); and xmalloc() will exit() rather than return null. regards, tom lane
