Hi again,
Another mistake of mine ... :) The real problem was that I used a Windows
based archiver (PowerArchiver) to unzip the gz file which - for some reasons
??? - chunked the long lines at aproximately every 16K. Using gunzip the
problem oozed away. :)
Bye,

What line above? Are you referring to "Error restoring bytea" in the
subject header? Is that the *exact* error message?

Have extraneous newlines and/or carriage returns made it into the dump?
That might result in "invalid input syntax for type bytea", which isn't the
exact error you mentioned but might be what you meant.
