It might be time to put this in the FAQ ;-). You're probably trying
to run a 6.5 (or earlier?) pg_dump against a 7.0 database. The older
pg_dump doesn't do any version checking, and the first it realizes
it's got trouble is when it hits incompatibilities in the system
table layout.
Check your PATH to see where pg_dump is coming from...
