Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us> noted that MAXQUERYLEN's value in pg_dump is
5000. Some of my fields are the maximum length for a text field.
Using the 5/26 snapshot, I increased MAXQUERYLEN to 16384 and it completed
without crashing. I also tried it at 8192 but it still crashed at that size.
The dumped data file is 15MB (no -d or -D option) or 22MB (with -D). The
core file is 13.8MB, which sounds like a memory leak in pg_dump.
