Ah.  Your problem is you need to mark sig_in() as IMMUTABLE, or at least
STABLE, for an expression involving sig_in() to be considered safe to
index.  If it's in C, more than likely it'd best be marked STRICT too
(else you'd better have explicit NULL checks in the function code).

Don't forget to look at your other custom functions too, to see if
they're correctly marked.
