did a pg_dump --format=c for a production database (on a 8.1.2 server) and attempted to pg_restore on a 8.2.0 server.

Things seemed to go fine with the exception of functions, triggers and trigger functions.

It was apparently doing a bunch of ACL work towards the end and spewed a slew of errors like this:

Feb  6 16:23:02 devl-app1 postgres[22552]: [624-1] ERROR:  function add_entity(text, text, integer, text) does not exist
Feb 6 16:23:02 devl-app1 postgres[22552]: [624-2] STATEMENT: REVOKE ALL ON FUNCTION add_entity(text, text, integer, text) FROM PUBLIC;
so I checks the TOC to ensure that the function and ACLs were listed....

root@devl-app1# pg_restore -l prod-app-1.pgsql-prod.pgsql | grep add_entity
320; 1255 16412 FUNCTION public add_entity(text, text, integer, text) pgsql
3318; 0 0 ACL public add_entity(text, text, integer, text) pgsql

sure enough....the function and the ACLs were there. 
Hmmm...When all was said and done, the only functions in the database were ones that originally came from pg_crypto (from template0 when I created the new database to load the data into)

Also...similar problem with triggers/trigger functions

Feb  6 16:07:27 devl-app1 postgres[22552]: [509-1] ERROR:  function batch_stat_populate() does not exist
Feb 6 16:07:27 devl-app1 postgres[22552]: [509-2] STATEMENT: CREATE TRIGGER batch_stats_updater
Feb 6 16:07:27 devl-app1 postgres[22552]: [509-3] AFTER INSERT ON batch_audit
Feb 6 16:07:27 devl-app1 postgres[22552]: [509-4] FOR EACH ROW
Feb 6 16:07:27 devl-app1 postgres[22552]: [509-5] EXECUTE PROCEDURE batch_stat_populate();

What up?  is this a version inconsistency issue?
Please tell me I don't have to -l into a listfile and manually re-order items and the use -L ?
