IIRC, this is what you see when you run a 6.5 pg_dump against a 7.0
database (or perhaps it was vice versa).

There's been talk of putting stricter version checking into pg_dump,
but that might introduce its own problems...

Maybe this relates to this too:

$ pg_dump cs1 -o > /tmp/x.dump
parseNumericArray: bogus number

pg_dump aborts then. This is on 7.0 on Linux 2.2.10. I can't get more
about this error but I definately can not dump the db. Though the
migration from 6.5.3 to 7.0 went smooth.

Any suggestions?
