I have applied the patch and test it against the same database.
Now it's ok, no more core dumps, thanks a lot.

If you are going to rewrite some of the portions of pg_dump, I would
like to ask you to include that tiny patch that makes pg_dump write for
table structures just 1 field per line (inserting \n\t after every
field) in order to get a better look of the file. The current version is
giving a extremely long line for tables and it's somehow difficult to
watch or edit it.

All the best,
