Bug #778: pg_dump crashes when dumping a view

Michael Bravo (mbravo(at)tag-ltd(dot)spb(dot)ru) reports a bug with a severity of 2
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
pg_dump crashes when dumping a view

Long Description
pg_dump crashes when trying to dump a certain database structure.
plaform: Linux, Debian 3.0 (stable)
PostgreSQL version: 7.2.1-3 (Debian package version, that is, 3rd build)

steps to reproduce:
create an empty database foo
populate it with a db structure listed below in example code
execute 'pg_dump -v foo'
the following output appears:

pg_dump: saving database definition
pg_dump: last built-in oid is 16554
pg_dump: reading user-defined types
pg_dump: reading user-defined functions
pg_dump: reading user-defined aggregate functions
pg_dump: reading user-defined operators
pg_dump: reading user-defined tables
pg_dump: finding triggers for table element
pg_dump: finding triggers for table variant
pg_dump: finding triggers for table unit
pg_dump: finding triggers for table cost_sheet
pg_dump: finding triggers for table assembly
pg_dump: finding triggers for table assembly_body
pg_dump: finding triggers for table parent
pg_dump: finding triggers for table parent_assembly
pg_dump: finding triggers for table parent_element
pg_dump: query to obtain definition of view "parent_body_view" failed: ERROR: phony_equal: unexpected node type 721
pg_dump: *** aborted because of error
