I noticed them too (but I thought it was a flaw since they
where gone (up to now) after a 'make install' and 'initdb').

Looks like the tuple desctiptor given to index_formtuple() is
corrupted somewhere before the call to memmove() in
DataFill() line 208.
I think it must have happened inside of DataFill() or
something DataFill() called, because at the time of failure,
the on-stack variable tupleDescriptor of index_formtuple()
looks still good - so I assume index_formtuple() handed the
correct value to DataFill() at line 78 and it has been
corrupted after.
BTW: I love gdb.
