Oh, in that case you can use
    pg_dump -X use-set-session-authorization

I do not think 7.1's pg_dump had this option, but you can run 7.2's
pg_dump against the 7.1 server (in fact that is probably preferable
anyhow).

I would like to see use-set-session-authorization become the default
before 7.3 release, but haven't got around to doing anything about it.
