That's a pretty small function. I don't see much room for error. This
diff in src/backend/access/common/heaptuple.c seems like the most
likely place to catch it.

Of course, you still have to find out what's calling it with slot set
to NULL if that turns out to be the problem. It may also be that slot
is not NULL but set to garbage. You could also add a notice there.
Two, in fact. One to display the address of slot and one to display
the value of slot->tts_tuple or slot->tts_tupleDescriptor. If the
first shows a non NULL value and the second causes your crash that
tells you that the value of slot is probably trashed before
calling the function.
Do this in conjunction with Tom Lanes suggestion of "--enable-debug" for
more information.
