This is interesting, but I don't understand.. We've done a full restore
from one of these pg_dump backups before now and it worked just great.
Sure I had to DROP SCHEMA _replication CASCADE to clear out all the
slony-specific triggers etc., but the new-master ran fine, as did
firing up new replication to the other nodes :)
Was I just lucky?
Cheers,
Gavin.
