The dump was done by someone using the old, existing system, which runs
under 8.3. She complained that she was having problems (i.e., the
36-hour restore), and after we looked at it, we decided to take the file
and try to import it into our 9.0 database with pg_restore 9.0, just to
see what was going on.
It's quite possible that the pg_dump from 9.0 would have done a better
or more intelligent job, but we can't switch it into widespread use
right now. (We have 8.3 installed in a closed-box product that's
physically distributed to customers.) We can mix and match 8.3 and 9.0
in the development lab, but not on a widespread scale.
