Thanks. I'll dig deeper here.

Yup. It was a
"Postgresql 7.2 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 3.2
20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)"
and "\r" escaping didn't start til 7.2.1.

Is the best way for me to get 7.2 data to 7.4devel to:

(1) upgrade 7.2 to 7.2.4 (no dump/restore needed?)
(2) dump from 7.2.4, and
(3) restore that dump

or is there a better path without the intermediate upgrade?

My apologies to everyone... and thanks with your patience!
