pg_dump out of memory

Dear All,

 

I am running a PostgreSQL 8.3 server (not my choice, would prefer 9.1) but I am experiencing memory issues when using pg_dump.

 

I have looked on the forums for memory issues, and can say that the data is not corrupt.

 

We are running a VM with RHEL6, 4GB RAM, 2CPU and 80GB HDD

 

Does anyone have any ideas please?
