pg_dump/pg_dumpall do not correctly dump search_path

Would someone answer this report?. Looks strange to me.

All,

There seems to be a bug in pg_dumpall:

For one of my dbs I've done:

ALTER DATABASE dbname SET search_path = mw, public;

If I do a pg_dumpall I get a line like:

ALTER DATABASE dbname SET search_path TO 'mw, public';

note the 's. It's also in a place in the dump before the mw schema is
created. It's not a big problem but it makes dumps less automatic.

BTW If I do a pg_dump dbname I get a dump which does not reference the
search_path change. I'm not sure if this is by design or it is just
missing.

I'm using PostgreSQL 7.4.5 on linux

Thanks for any help.

We have experienced this same problem in 7.4.2.
