Postgres is not able to cluster a relation on which an rtree index is
defined. Postmaster gives the following error message:
Too Large Allocation Request("!(0 < (size) && (size) <= (0xfffffff)):size=0
[0x0]", File:"/export/home/postgres/src/backend/utils/mmgr/mcxt.c", Line: 220)
!(0 <(size) && (size) <= (0xfffffff)) (0) [No such file or directory]

Here's a small patch that my run-time checker whines about
incessantly. The justification for the patch is along the
lines of passing a NULL is allowed if you have an
arguement that is a *POINTER* to something, but if
the arguement is an array reference, it's not really
a "pointer", so it can't be NULL.
If you question this, I refer you to

Anyways, here's the patch:
