What is this...?

drop table tmp_pguser;
QUERY: drop table tmp_pguser;
DROP
copy pg_user from stdin;
QUERY: copy pg_user from stdin;
Enter info followed by a newline
End with a backslash and a period on a line by itself.

[Redirected to appropriate group. Sorry, couldn't resist. :-)]

And then it just stops...?

This is using pg_dump/pg_dumpall from 6.2.1, before shutting down v6.2.1,
to create the db.dump file...

Sure you are not running 6.3 pg_dumpall, which has a bug?

Positive...hadn't even installed v6.3 when I did my pg_dumpall :(

I might have missed somethign with all the dump/reload discussions that
went on, but what is:

postgres@zeus> psql -e -f db.dump template1
\connect template1
connecting to new database: template1
select datdba into table tmp_pguser from pg_database where datname =
'template1';
QUERY: select datdba into table tmp_pguser from pg_database where
datname = 'template1';
SELECT
delete from pg_user where usesysid <> tmp_pguser.datdba;
QUERY: delete from pg_user where usesysid <> tmp_pguser.datdba;
DELETE 0
drop table tmp_pguser;
QUERY: drop table tmp_pguser;
DROP
copy pg_user from stdin;

^^^^^^^ COPY into a view? Cool!

So we missed something when renaming pg_user into pg_shadow.
Damn.

Here is a patch. Haven't tested it yet, but patch has been applied to
source tree.
