You'd have thought it would. The odd thing (if it is data corruption) is
that you would expect to see something in the server logs about a
failure to allocate 12345412234124 bytes of memory or some such. Whereas
all you get is this winsock error.

Could you try CREATE some_table AS SELECT * FROM c2674 WHERE ... to copy
the large rows within the database. If that fails, the table is
corrupted but you can identify the problem rows and work around them
while you dump the data.

If it doesn't fail, that suggests (to me, anyway) you've found a bug
somewhere in the communication between server and client (which would
explain the winsock error).
