On the first server, where the backup was done
a binary distribution was installed
(think it was from postgresql.org). The filenames were called:
postgresql-7.0.2-3mdk.i686.rpm, etc

On the new server, there is 7.0.2 too, but compiled from source,
dont know if this could be a hint. i'm shure that the
pg_dump used was the version which was delivered with the
binaries.

The whole thing is running on a turbolinux turbocluster server 4.0,
kernel 2.2.12, glibc 2.1.2
