You need to be sure that pg_dump and pg_restore are built with
large-file support if you want them to deal with dump files exceeding
4 gig.  I'm not clear on whether that is default on Solaris.

(I believe you can work around lack of large-file support by fooling
with pipes, but it'd be better to fix the problem.)
