Description: cannot pg_restore from pg_dump --format=c
Details:

Hi

I'm trying to copy a database between two servers (both fc9).

If I do the following:-

pg_dump --format=c --username=portal --file=test.dump Portal

Create the database using:-

createdb -E utf8 --owner=portal --template postgres Portal

then:

pg_restore --dbname=Portal test.dump

The database schema is partially restored and no data added.

If I do the same thing using pg_dump --format=p and loading it using psql it
works fine. The database was originally created under fc7 (sorry can't
remember the version) Its a bit worrying as it means the previous nightly
backups are not usable.
