Error: rows returned by function are not all of the same row type

Hi, everyone,

I have written C-language function that returns
multiple composite rows.

Generally function works as expected, but sometimes problem takes place.
At rough guess the problem occurs when number of returning rows
relatively large (more than 100K - 1M).

I have added some checkpoints.
P5 and P6 are present in snippet.

The function always reaches checkpoint P5, but before P6 it returns
error:

"rows returned by function are not all of the same row type"

Supposedly, at some iteration on SRF_RETURN_NEXT

Any ideas?

Below is a snippet of code:

#include "postgres.h"
