In order to capture the pg_dump traffic with tcpdump we changed the
pg_dump command from
pg_dump DB > ...
to
pg_dump -h 127.0.0.2 DB > ...
Since that time the dump completed without any errors. Before using
local connection pg_dump failed to about 50%.

Anyway, we can live with that solution. But still I'd be curious to know
what is the problem with local connections. Is there a way to capture
traffic of local socket connections?
