Hmm, I'd expect it to work --- as you say, it's not hugely surprising if
there are bugs in there, but I wasn't aware of any. Can you look more
closely and find out what's going on --- for example, what shows up in
the postmaster log with this case:

> pg_restore: restoring data for table d_ref
> pg_restore: [archiver (db)] error returned by PQputline
> pg_restore: *** aborded because of error

One thing to watch out for is that cvs-tip pg_dump won't talk to a
pre-7.4 server at all (if it does, you've got some shared-library
misalignment). That will have to be fixed, but it's not on
the critical path at the moment.
