Uh, do those markers not appear in that dump type?  I thought they did.

I just tried pg_restore -v and while I see the lines, they are changing
every time I run it, meaning it isn't stored in the file but is showing
current time.  I looked in the dump file and I don't see the dates
either.

So, in non-ascii format, I need to dump a comment record and read it
back on restore?  Yuck.  Anyone want to tackle that?
