Re: pg_dump strangeness

The problem seems to be either bad mainboard or memory. The machine
decided it was going to start crashing very regularly and finally
stopped even booting. I ended up moving the raid board, drives and one
of the sticks of memory to another box and so far it's still running.

I'll try running the memory tests tomorrow. I'm not stuck in meetings
all day.

Thanks for the help and suggestions,
-Lane
