Thanks for the report. This doesn't happen with pg_dump from 9.0 or
later, but I can confirm it's an issue with dumps from 8.4. Although
8.4 is due to reach end-of-life next month, this seems worth fixing
because we would like newer pg_restore versions to be able to read
dumps from 8.4, and right now they can't if there are too many blob
comments. So I've committed a fix.
In the meantime, you can dodge the problem if necessary by piping
pg_restore's text output into psql, rather than doing a direct-to-database
restore.
