Having a regression testing suite for pg_dump would be useful, IMHO.

But until we have that, perhaps it would be a good idea to add corner
cases like these to the normal regression tests (as it's easy to test
pg_dump by running 'make installcheck', then dumping and reloading the
regression DB).

Cheers,

It's only recently that that actually worked ... 7.3 I think :-(.
But yeah, regression tests for pg_dump would be a fine idea.

I seem to recall the Great Bridge folks had done some work towards that
(but it's probably unrecoverable now, so never mind...)
