Some further poking around identified another place that was taking dubious shortcuts to identify large-object TOC entries, further down in _tocEntryRequired. Since that code is executed only during binary upgrade, which will be working from a schema-only dump anyway, it *might* be harmless. But I'm not sure, and it's certainly far from future-proof. I also noted a copy-and-pasteo in dumpSecLabel. Hence, I intend to add the attached to the back-patched fix proposed previously. regards, tom lane
