*All* of them are wrong. The ones that aren't causing an error are the
ones where the last field is a textual field --- and what's happening
there is that the ^M is being taken as a data character, which you
won't want.
Bottom line: do not allow Windoze to get its hands on a pg_dump script.
LF->CR/LF translation is not something you want to happen to that file.
