Have him dump the table again (if he can) using pg_dump's "proper inserts" switch turned on. Tom, I'm not contradicting that the problem may be directly linked to CR's in the data. I have encountered this before and I worked around it with proper inserts. I was working in Linux and never transferred the file anywhere.

Hello, Tom, nope, no windows here. The file was sent direclty from the Linux to my mailbox, which I read on Solaris.
The only thing I can think of is the PostgreSQL versions. My collegue is using 7.0.3, and I use 7.1.2. Comments?
