Hmm, did you remove the permissions checking to dump objects?  I thought
we had concluded that these were needed -- ie. you have to have at least
CONNECT to a database to be able to dump it, and so on.  This way, the
functions do not override a DBAs intention to hide the information, when
they run REVOKE on the catalogs.  I know this is a nonstandard thing to
do, but some people do it nonetheless.
