-   seg->resowner = CurrentResourceOwner;
-   ResourceOwnerRememberDSM(CurrentResourceOwner, seg);
+   if (CurrentResourceOwner)
+   {
+       seg->resowner = CurrentResourceOwner;
+       ResourceOwnerRememberDSM(CurrentResourceOwner, seg);
+   }

You need to assign seg->resowner = CurrentResourceOwner
unconditionally here.  Otherwise seg->resowner is uninitialised junk.
