Posting here because it may be a 8.1 pre-release problem. I'll take it to the admin list if it looks like it's not.
File dumped from 8.1beta3 using pg_dump -Fc on Linux box. This dump restored successfully onto 8.1RC1 on Linux box. File FTP'd to Windows box; attempt to restore onto 8.1RC1 fails with: pg_restore [archiver] file offset in dump file is too large This happens even wilth pg_restore -l <filename> All instanced init'd with --locale=C Both Linux and Windows 8.1RC1 instances give: dtr=> \l List of databases Name | Owner | Encoding -----------+----------+----------- dtr | dtr | SQL_ASCII postgres | postgres | SQL_ASCII template0 | postgres | SQL_ASCII template1 | postgres | SQL_ASCII (4 rows) (Source database was also SQL_ASCII.)
