I was just looking at the code you posted here:

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-novice/2005-01/msg00371.php

About 20 lines above the call to SRF_RETURN_NEXT(), you allocate
memory and assign it to "result", but then you never do anything
with that variable before trying to return it.  It probably contains
garbage, which could be a problem if it's a variable-length type
since the first 4 bytes are supposed to contain the length of
the data.
