This looks like the heroku.dump file was corrupted somewhere between
pg_dump and pg_restore.  Did you transport it to a different machine,
and if so how'd you do that exactly?

Also, since you mention using Windows, it might be a good idea to
use "-f heroku.dump" not "> heroku.dump" in the pg_dump call.
I think shell redirection is not too friendly to non-text data
on that platform.
