pg_restore returns always error if backup is greater than 2 GB

I noticed that backups created by pg_dump are not usable if backup file size
is greater than 2 GB.

Backups are create in 8.1 I tried to restore them in 8.4. Backup contains
many tables. There is a large table, attachme containing bytea field. This
table grows rapidly. If .backup file size is bigger that 2 GB, pg_restore
always fails for every table restored after that table:

C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.4/bin\pg_restore.exe --host localhost --port
5432 --username postgres --dbname mydb --verbose "\\ls\share\my
cackups\backups\090703 my backup.backup"

How to recover data from tables in backup after attachme table ?

Andrus.

Environment:

Backups are created in PostgreSql 8.1 running in Windows
pg_dump is used to create backup copies to Buffalo Linkstation Pro ls-320 GB
external disk device ( \\ls ) connected to LAN

backup command: pg_dump.exe -ibv -Z3 -f \\ls\backup\mybackup.backup -Fc -h
localhost -U admin mydb

What causes this ? is it Buffalo device, Windows/LAN or PostgreSql 8.1 issue
? Will upgrading to 8.4 fix this ?
