First, this should have been posted to -general or, if you really feel
strongly about it, -bugs. Not sure why you thought to post it to -docs... I
recommend re-posting to -general along with adding additional information.

The specific information you should include would be any rows from
"pg_stat_activity" that show activity; especially any that appear to belong
to the pg_dump process. Depending on what activity is reported the
information returned from "pg_locks" may also prove helpful.

A couple of observations:

"-i" is deprecated (since at least 8.4)...
"-b" is only needed for selective dumps...
"-v" you've turned on verbose mode - maybe include the last handful of
output lines in your complaint...

Given the apparent testing of different versions of PostgreSQL you should
also provide the pairing of pg_dump and postgres that you are using (or
confirm they are the same).
