Strange.  Can you provide a debugger backtrace from the segfault?
Another thing that might be useful is to log the queries being sent
to the server, so we can see what the last few were.  Easiest way
to do that is
    export PGOPTIONS="-d2"
(or equivalent for whatever shell you use) before running pg_dump.
