I tried the attached patch. But I got the following error.

pg_backup_archiver.o(.text+0x1fa4): In function `allocAH':
C:/msys/1.0/home/y-asaba/postgresql-8.2.3-patch/src/bin/pg_dump/pg_backup_archiver.c:1580: undefined reference to
`fseeko64'
...
make[3]: *** [pg_dump] Error 1
 $ uname -sr MINGW32_NT-5.1 1.0.10(0.46/3/2)
