Sean: you are on the same track I am. Yes, I found 9 such values in a
timestamp field. I corrected the data, exported, and imported into 7.2.
All went well[1].
Now my concern is how the value 'current' found its way into a timestamp
field.... I'm looking at the application.
thank you.
[1] - I did have to manually modify the pg_dump output to remove the
quotes from around current_timestamp (as mentioned elsewhere).
