As Tom said, if you're on 7.2.1, upgrade to 7.2.4 immediately. Stop PG and
take a backup of the entire data/base directory tree, Being paranoid, I'd set
it up in parallel on a separaate machine or with a different PGDATA (and port
etc). Then see if pg_dump for 7.2.4 can cope. There were a number of bugfixes
between 7.2.1 and .4 - details in the release notes.
