I think you're probably shooting yourself in the foot here:

/* pfree() the memory allocated for the previous candidate. FIXME: Avoid
* meddling with the internals of a StringInfo, and try to use an API.
*/
if( cols.len > 0 )
{
pfree( cols.data );
cols.data = NULL;
} /*IF col.len>0*/

Don't do that, use resetStringInfo() instead.
