Well, it's defined the next level up on the stack, and it's still garbage.  The way I read gist.c and how it's calling
gistUserPicksplitat line 1083, it's not initialized prior that else.  So, FunctionCall2 in gistutil.c is supposed to
fillit out?  Presumably a function supplied by PGSphere in this case?
