cur_datname here seems corrupted -- it points halfway into cur_nspname,
which is also a corrupt value. And I think that's because we're not
checking that the namespace OID is a valid value before calling
get_namespace_name on it. And I'm betting that these values are all not
what we expect, because we're not checking that we're in the correct
database before trying to execute the work item. I don't quite
understand how this results in an invalid string rather than just a
NULL, as I would have expected.

Anyway, can give this patch a try?
