You said the dump file was over 4Gb, right?  I'm wondering if you are
running into some file-offset-size bug.  In particular this recent
bug fix might be relevant:

2004-01-03 23:02  tgl

    * src/bin/pg_dump/pg_backup_archiver.c (REL7_4_STABLE): Fix
    ReadOffset() to work correctly when off_t is wider than int.

although offhand I'm not sure how that would translate into what sounds
to be an unexpected-EOF failure.

            regards, tom lane
