[REPOST] Problem for dumping a 6.5.2 database

Hello,

I'm trying to dump a PostgreSQL 6.5.2. database table in order to add it
in a PostgreSQL 7.3.3 database but I'm encountering some errors :

When I try to do the dump, I get :

[bouchon@old_db]$ pg_dump -x -v -u -t tablename -D -f tablename_dump.sql
thedatabasename
Username:
Password:

--  last builtin oid is 17120
--  reading user-defined types
--  reading user-defined functions
getFuncs(): SELECT failed.  Explanation from backend: 'pqReadData() --
backend closed the channel unexpectedly.
        This probably means the backend terminated abnormally
        before or while processing the request.
'.


If I connect to this database via psql and I make a \d tablename I get :

[bouchon@old_db]$ psql -u thedatabasename
Username:
Password:

   type \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
 You are currently connected to the database: thedatabasename

thedatabasename=> \d tablename;
pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly.
        This probably means the backend terminated abnormally
        before or while processing the request. thedatabasename=>

But I can do select * from thetablename where pk_id=10 even select *
from tablename without any problems.

I don't understand why the pg_dump is not working... :-(

Can you help me ?

Thanks in advance !
