There is probably an error in the Postgres log-file providing you more info.

That said, at least the below bit in your code is dangerous:

    foreach( cell, candidates ) /* foreach cell in candidates */
    {

        idxcd = (IndexCandidate*)lfirst( cell );

        if( !idxcd->idxused )
            continue;

        if (idxcd!=NULL)
        {


You should at least check for NULL before referencing an attribute of that structure. Personally, I would invert the test like so (and then move it before the idxused test:

        if (idxcd == NULL) {
            elog( INFO, "idxcd IS NULL" );
            continue; /* Or is that fatal enough to break instead? */
        )

        if (!idxcd->idxused)
            continue;
