error: lost syncronization with server

I'm trying to create a database on Linux RH 7.2 (postgres version 7.2.3)
from a pg_dumpall generated script on W2K, Cygwin (postgres version 7.2.3
also).  The script connects fine, starts creating tables, indexes, and
recoards, and then suddently throws up this error:

ERROR:  copy: line 1, CopyReadAttribute: end of record marker corrupted
lost synchronization with server, resetting connection

Any thoughts on what I need to be looking for?

    Thx in Advance,
