I was pleasantly surprised that PostgreSQL gave such a detailed error
message. Even down to the compile option that was different, good job.

I'll just do a pg_dump / pg_restore cycle, as I was planning to do. Is
there any guarantee for compatability the pg_dump format? Say, can a
8.1.0 pg_dump made using a 64 bit Solaris SPARC binary be read using a
32 bit Intel Linux pg_restore 8.1.0 binary? ;-)
