The last dozen lines or so are... (sorry if there are any typos,
copy/paste not working).

That could explain everything.  I think (but can't promise) that
I had the cvs-tip pg_dump.  However it's complaining about '\r's
and I see that dumputils.c in cvs-tip looks like it escapes '\r's.
OTOH, I'm happy to run it again if you need to be sure (takes
about 10 hours, so I'd have results next day).
