Re: migrating to 9.2 created blank dbs

Running the select statement gives me a list of all my databases. The only thing that looks suspicious are a few databases have stuff like this in the datacl column " {postgres=CT/postgres,=T/postgres}". The number of databases with that is suspiciously equal to the number of blanks created.

FWIW, this seems to match a symptom we've heard of occasionally in which the source server's catalogs are corrupted. If the 8.1 server is still online it would be interesting to connect to it manually and see what you get from "select * from pg_database".
