Hello,
I've found the problem, although I'm still a bit confused by it.

When the call to SPI_finish() at the end of pgresultGetTupleDesc
in my patch is removed, it works fine, custom datatypes and all :)

But I still don't understand why this is. Is this safe?

Also, I was thinking about how we could uniquely identify a database.
Are there any variables we could retreive from the remote db after
connecting to it that could form a consistent unique id for that db?

Is there a way we can determine whether 'pg_type'
in the remote database has been modified?
We could automatically update the oid map in that case.
