First, this is the wrong place to ask this question. pgsql-hackers is 
about development of postgres itself, not about usage questions. Perhaps 
you should ask on pgsql-general.

Second, if you can run the file using psql, then it does not appear to 
be a problem with postgres at all, but rather with the client you are 
using (you don't say what that client is). Perhaps your client is trying 
a naive method of batching inserts and thus running out of buffer space 
- it's hard to tell since you haven't given much information.

In the case of pgAdminIII, you might need to ask on its lists.
