No, this is a fresh install. The database went live about 1 month ago.

:-( I should have thought it. Thanks.

The problem is:

* We ran pg_dump about 15 days before with no problem. Neither any data 
nor any relation was dropped since the cluster was initialized. If the 
trigger was there, how could we run pg_dump successfully? If it isn't 
there, why does it prevent pg_dump?
