As I understand it, I should be able to do something like (assuming 
"time" is the attribute name):
  bool isNull;  HeapTupleHeader t = DatumGetHeapTupleHeader(row);  Datum var = GetAttributeByName( row, "time", & isNull );  // Check for null  char * ret = DatumGetCString( DirectFunctionCall1(textout, var ) );   

That's not going to work. textout wants a text datum. Try calling
timestamp_out instead..

Sigh... it's always the idiot bugs that are the hardest to see. Thanks a lot.
