The usual way to get into this sort of trouble is to load a bunch of
data into the table while explicitly specifying ID values.  It will
take the data (as long as it doesn't conflict with existing IDs)
but nothing happens to the sequence.  pg_dump knows it has to update
the sequence too, but a lot of other tools don't; and even with pg_dump
a selective restore can mess things up.
