Setting the verbose mode (which usually uses to be very usefull ;) ), showed me something like this while restoring :
BEGIN, still in transaction (more or less)
which made me think that the autocommit was disabled. This feature in series 7.3.x is very usefull to me but, as I
checked,
in the restore file there are two BEGIN's. That avoided pg_restore to resolve the OID's succesfully.
Right now, turning the autocommit to true, while restore (and disabling it later), allows me to restore any database.
Thanks for your interest,
Gustavo
