fetch_search_path() and elog.c

Hi,

I need to have in the log_line_prefix the search_path where the query 
has run.
So last week I've started to read elog.c and I was thinking about a 
small patch there using a new "%S" option.

First I've introduced a small code:
      case 'S':
        {
            List *search_path = fetch_search_path(false);
            if (search_path != NIL) {
                ListCell   *l;
                foreach(l, search_path)
                   {
                       char       *nspname;

                       nspname = get_namespace_name(lfirst_oid(l));
                       if (nspname)                    /* watch out for 
deleted namespace */
                           {
                                appendStringInfo(buf, "%s ", nspname);
                                pfree(nspname);
                          }
                  }
                list_free(search_path);
            }
            break;
        }

but in this way postgres was starting with a core dump writing on log.

Then I've add some code, and now it starts but it kills the postgres 
process as soon as a query has sent to log:

                                break;

And here there is the client output:

bash-2.05a$ psql prova -U pgsql
Welcome to psql 8.0.3, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

       \h for help with SQL commands
       \? for help with psql commands
       \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
       \q to quit

prova=# select * from prova;
server closed the connection unexpectedly
        This probably means the server terminated abnormally
        before or while processing the request.
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.

Where can I start to understand which checks I've missed and how to gain 
the output I need?


Thank you in advance,                \ferz
