It won't work anyway: modern versions of pg_dump are only designed to
work with servers back to 7.0.  I see from the rest of the thread that
you tried to bludgeon it into submission, but I'd very strongly
recommend that you abandon that approach and use 6.5's pg_dump.

A further suggestion is that you use -d or even -D option on the dump.
I think there have been some corner-case changes in COPY data format
since 6.5 days; which might or might not bite you, but why take the
chance ...
