This looks like you tried to restore a text dump. That is documented not
to work. You can only use pg_restore with dumps created with pg_dump -F
c or pg_dump -F t

This looks like the line-end bug that we fixed (or thought we fixed) in
psql some time ago, specifically here:
http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql-server/src/bin/psql/copy.c.diff?r1=1.51;r2=1.52;f=h

 If it is not working please provide a concrete small example dump file.
