Hm ... you're setting up arguments to heap_form_tuple like this:
> values[1] = CStringGetDatum(pstrdup(stdaddr->building));
This is only correct if the corresponding column of the tupledesc is
declared as being type "cstring", which I'm willing to bet it isn't.
heap_form_tuple does not do any type conversion --- the datums provided
have to be of the right types already.
You could feed the string through the input function for the column's
type, but perhaps what you really ought to do is use
BuildTupleFromCStrings rather than using heap_form_tuple directly.
