It looks that tupDesc contains invalid pointer. I found some strange 
assignment in ExecAssignScanTypeFromOuterPlan function. See comment 
bellow. OuterPlanState expects PlaneState structure instead ScanState.

00762 ExecAssignScanTypeFromOuterPlan(ScanState *scanstate)
00763 {
00764     PlanState  *outerPlan;
00765     TupleDesc   tupDesc;
00766
00767     outerPlan = outerPlanState(scanstate);                ^^^^^                scanstate->ps ??

00768     tupDesc = ExecGetResultType(outerPlan);
00769
00770     ExecAssignScanType(scanstate, tupDesc);
00771 }
