I started the 9.1 server normally and ran the above pg_dump (with the appropriate port for that instance). | w/ -binary-upgrade | w/ --format=custom | crashed? | | yes | no | yes | | no | yes | no | | yes | yes | yes | So it seem the -binary-upgrade option has caused some problem. And the same crash happens regardless of whether i use the 9.1's or 9.3's pg_dump. You need to install the debugging symbols, which I have no experience doing > under Ubuntu, but it should be easy to find instructions for.

I'll see what i can do if the pg_dump information doesn't lead anywhere useful. Thanks for the help
