int1 works perfectly, as far as I can tell. int3 works great in memory,
but can't be stored to a table. The problem seems to be that
store_att_byval allows data of size 1 byte but not size 3 bytes, forcing
me to pass int3 by reference. But when I pass either of these types by
reference the backend exits when trying to store to a table.
Please provide a stack trace --- AFAIK there shouldn't be any reason why
a pass-by-ref 3-byte type wouldn't work. I'm wondering though what
alignment you expect it to have. You'd need some pretty ugly code to
pick up an unaligned 3-byte integer portably ... but if you align it,
the space savings probably goes out the window.
