Large object restore problem w/triggers

Hi,

We have a database with a bunch of large objects, who's ids we
reference in a table. There is a trigger associated with inserts and
updates on the table to delete the old value when inserting a new
large object associated with a row in the table.

This causes a problem when doing a pg_dump and pg_restore. The dump
works fine, but when doing a restore it tries to trigger a delete of
an old large object. It seems that the object id is associated with
the database that was dumped, and not the one that was restored. So,
lo_unlink fails and the whole restore aborts.

Has anyone seen this behavior before? Am I doing something wrong?
Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks for your help.

Claire

PS. The dump command was pg_dump --b -Ft -o db > db.tar
Restore command: pg_restore -O -d db db.tar
