upgrade to v7.3 and BLOBs

Hi,

i have a problem updating to v7.2.3 -> v7.3. i have a lot of BLOBs i want to take along. problem boils down to this:
althoughthere is FixupBlobRefs-code in pg_backup_db.c to "fix" the references to the BLOBs ( because of the
non-avoidableoid change ), is does not work for me because the database is not able to compare lo with anything, i
can'teven compare lo with a lo. i have fooled around in the FixupBlobRefs code to do some typecasting, but to no avail.


problem is, i can not add such operator before i do the pg_restore because then, during restore, it will complain that
lo-typealready exists. in 7.2.3 i patched the pg_restore code to continue, even if there were errors. and i needed this
ondifferent occasions. would it be possible to include an "ignore-errors" flag to pg_restore?  

i suspect this problem is due to the new "operator" class?

regards,
