pg_restore fails for postgis data dump

Hi there,

I just wanted to restore a dump which I did, which includes some
postgis data. But, it doesn't work and instead I get this error message:

pg_restore: restoring data for table "boundaries_national"
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] error returned by PQputCopyData: server
closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
pg_restore: *** aborted because of error

The log shows this:
__________________________________________________________________
LOG: server process (PID 737) was terminated by signal 10
LOG: terminating any other active server processes
WARNING: terminating connection because of crash of another server
process
DETAIL: The postmaster has commanded this server process to roll back
the current transaction and exit, because another server process

repeat your command.

What does it mean? The dump is from a 8.1 database, whereas the new
one is 8.2. There is surely as well some difference in postgis
version. Can it be linked to that? I am working with Leopard.

Thanks for any advice.
