How long has your installation been running? I'm guessing that this is
a problem with OIDs > 2 billion (causing signed vs unsigned problems),
but that doesn't hold water unless you've been running long enough to
have such OIDs.

That'd be my recommendation too: get 7.2, build it, use the pg_dump
from it to dump everything, then install 7.2 and reload the dump.

Anything that's careless about whether OIDs are signed or unsigned
will have problems. We've flushed most such bugs out of pg_dump by
now, but I dunno about pgadmin.
