 char *wkt is palloc'ed and never free'd.

 Was crashing Postgres every run of my script.  Made a simple change to:

 char wkt[size+1];

 And problem has gone away.  Couldn't track down the DirectFunctionCall3 to
 store the value and free wkt, so just did the quick hack without a
 pointer.

 I found the problem in 2.0, but it must exist simarily in 1.5.2 as I've
 been battling it all evening, and only tried 2.0 out of desperation.
