Tom,
How come version 8.2 of pg_dump uses GRANT ON SEQUENCE when dumping a
8.1 or older database?
Was it just a oversight? Seems it should be a simple matter to add some
logic that says IF version >= 8.2 THEN use grant on seq else don't use it.

Bruce told me just the opposite of what you said in the above message.
