Problem with pg_dump

Hi All,

I am a developer of a product that uses a postgresql database (currently
version 8.2.3.1). We dump the database using pg_dumpall. We are
finding data corruption in the dump files about twice a month with a few
thousand installations. I have been able to track down the data
corruption to the original dump file created by pg_dumpall. In every
case I've seen of the corruption 1 or 2 characters are missing. The
problem exhibits itself when loading the dump files. Here is an example
where two lines were combined:

ERROR: extra data after last expected column
CONTEXT: COPY ds_targets, line 42: "1180635517879 3001
C:/SQLBackup/1180635517879 3001 C:/System Volume Information/"

The file bad row was:

1180635517879 3001 C:/SQLBackup/1180635517879 3001 C:/System
Volume Information/

It should have been two rows as follows:

1180635517879 3001 C:/SQLBackup/

1180635517879 3001 C:/System Volume Information/

Is this something that is perhaps fixed in postgresql 8.3? Any
assistance in resolving this problem would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ed
