You *sure* that pg_dump is 8.2.0? Because we fixed that before 8.2 rc1 ...

* src/: backend/utils/error/elog.c,
bin/pg_dump/pg_backup_archiver.c, bin/pg_dump/pg_dumpall.c:
Suppress timezone (%Z) part of timestamp display when running on
Windows, because on that platform strftime produces localized zone
names in varying encodings. Even though it's only in a comment,
this can cause encoding errors when reloading the dump script. Per
suggestion from Andreas Seltenreich. Also, suppress %Z on Windows
in the %s escape of log_line_prefix ... not sure why this one is
different from the other two, but it shouldn't be.
