I think this was answered a couple of days ago, which I didn't read closely, 
but...

You'll probably find that the browser and or server is dropping the connection
thereby interrupting the pg_dump cgi script.

On the other hand any number of things could be going wrong and you wouldn't
know. For example, does your CGI script check for a failure due to lack of
disk space and inform the user?
