Are you sure that rel->rd_att is null? That seems extremely improbable.
What I think is more likely is that the first column of the tuple
contains a SQL NULL, and consequently SPI_getvalue returns a NULL
pointer. You are passing that NULL to atoi() without any check.
I'm not sure what Linux' atoi() does on NULL input, but a coredump
on Solaris is very believable ...
