Bug reference: 1426
Logged by: Alan Pevec
Email address: apevec(at)redhat(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 8.0.0
Operating system: i686-redhat-linux-gnu
Description: pg_restore SIGSEGV on 7.2.2 dump
Details:

Running pg_restore dump-produced-on-pg722.dump
fails with Segmentation fault:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

The same dump was restored w/o problems with both pg_restore 7.3.8 and
7.4.6.

Dump header, produced with pg_restore 7.3.8 is:
;
; Archive created at Wed Jul 7 04:03:02 2004
; dbname: XXXX
; TOC Entries: 1982
; Compression: -1
; Dump Version: 1.5-7
; Format: CUSTOM
; Integer: 4 bytes
; Offset: 4 bytes

Seems to be caused by a recent patch:
http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/src/bin/pg_dump/pg_backup_a
rchiver.c#rev1.101

Workaround is to use pg_restore -O
