I've not changed any malloc/calloc to palloc. It looks to me that these memory
areas are for the lifetime of the backend and in the interests of not breaking
something that's not broken I left alone.

Note for anyone reading this and wanting it for tsearch-v2-stable (i.e. for 7.3
backend) this patch probably will not apply cleanly to that source. It should
be simple enough to see what's going on and apply the changes by hand if need
be.

Are you sure Bruce? I'd say this is bug fixing.

Although it doesn't fix the underlying cause of the fault it does cover the
specific fault generated and reported by someone. Athough that was running in
a 7.3 server I believe, this addresses the same fault in the 7.4 contrib.

Oh, OK. I wasn't clear on that. I will move it to the 7.4 queue:
