pg_dumpall produces a SQL script; you should feed that to psql not
pg_restore.
I'm not sure though why you're seeing it hang; all the versions I have
handy produce some kind of error message when fed a script file.
Hmm ... is that the *whole* command line? If so problem is that it's
patiently waiting for some input on stdin.
