Re: HOLD THE PRESSES!! ... pg_dump from v7.0.3 can't import to v7.1?

No errors, nothing ... here is the backend:

%bin/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
DEBUG: database system was shut down at 2001-04-10 15:04:08 ADT
DEBUG: CheckPoint record at (0, 1522068)

DEBUG: MoveOfflineLogs: remove 0000000000000000

and I ran the restore in 'script' to save everything, and as:

psql -q template1 < pg_dumpall.out

and there are no errors in the resultant file ...

For all intensive purposes, the restore *looked* clean ... but, going back
and looking at the dump file, the dump wasn't clean *puzzled look*

I'm going to have to look at this some more, but its pg_dumpall in v7.0.3
that is dumping the wrong data, not the restore :(

all 77 databases got dump'd as the same database:
