The platform doing the pg_dump (PG12) is debian
And the one doing pg_restore (PG10) is ubuntu.

Also I know for sure when I use pg_restore from postgresql 12 it works fine in the same configuration.
(And I've regularly transferred tables this way from one system to another, it's just I've recently
migrated the debian system from PG11 to PG12 which lead to this segfault.)
