The pg_restore crashes.
For example if I run the "pg_restore -f example.sql backup" then it will
fall over when it tries to restore one of the corrupted tables.
Presumably the backup itself is corrupted.
The "pg_restore --list" works fine, so I can run a selective restore by
commenting out the dodgy tables using the "pg_restore -L" option.
Regarding the postgres ids, these appear to be listed in the pg_restore
-L so I can find out which data file the tables refer to, but I have
not found out how to restore a single one of these files to a usable or
readable state yet.
