Ohh ... I see the problem. It is this misguided effort at avoiding
memory leaks:

if (commentDeps)
{
for (j = 0; (*commentDeps)[j] != NULL; j++)
free((void *) (*commentDeps)[j]);
free(commentDeps);
}

(about line 5447 of pg_dump.c; added in rev 1.268 of 2-Jul-02).
This is freeing the dependency data that the archive entry needs :-(
