7.0.3 Bitset dumping

In case anyone cares, there is a bug in pg_dump in 7.0.3 when using the bit
fields.

eg: (This is a dump)

INSERT INTO "menu_plans" VALUES (7,'B''100000000''');
INSERT INTO "menu_plans" VALUES (6,'B''100000000''');
INSERT INTO "menu_plans" VALUES (8,'B''100000000''');

I think what's happening is that pg_dump is automatically putting quotes
around the fields, and escaping quotes in the string. Strangely enough, if
this dump is restored then you get your original bitset back, with a zero
appended to each end! Has this been fixed in 7.1?

Actually, I think that in 7.0.3's parser implementation they should be
dumped as :

INSERT INTO "menu_plans" VALUES (7,'b100000000');
INSERT INTO "menu_plans" VALUES (6,'b100000000');
INSERT INTO "menu_plans" VALUES (8,'b100000000');
